Mud Springs RMZ
The main recreational planning emphasis for the Mud Springs area is for motorized trails and rock crawling opportunities, though there are also about 4 miles of non-motorized trails as well. The motorized trails are converted full sized vehicle routes which access three 'Open' OHV play areas. Two of these open areas are for rock crawlers (super modified 4-wheel drive vehicles), and one is for ATV/UTVs. For more inrfomation, please contact the Tres Rios Field Office.
