Stinking Springs Multiple Use Area

Trail Flyer

The Stinking Springs Multiple Use Trail is a designated route for OHV/ATV riders, hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders.  Around 10,000 visitors use the area each year.  It is seasonally closed to accommodate wintering mule deer.  In other seasons, this critical winter habitat also offers desert hiking in sparsely timbered canyons, continuing through the Targhee National Forest.
