Chappie/Shasta Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area

Remember your OUTDOOR ETHICS when enjoying your public lands. Please RECREATE RESPONSIBLY.



Overview

Visitors to the rolling, brushy hills near Shasta Lake in northern California will find off-highway vehicle (OHV) riding challenges for all abilities. More than 250 miles of roads and trails are open to motorcyclists, all-terrain vehicle drivers and four-wheelers. The area is near massive Shasta Dam and Shasta Lake, and there are overlooks of the Sacramento River below the dam. Wildlife species in the area include osprey, bald eagle, mule deer, and bear. This area was named after former U. S. Congressman, Eugene Chappie. The area is partially by the California State Parks OHV program.

Chappie/Shasta OHV Recreation Area is open year-round.
