The Johnson Lane OHV Area is an extremely popular recreation site, conveniently close to the state capital of Carson City.
To the East of Johnson Lane is the vast Pine Nut Mountain Range, an extensive recreation site. Johnson Lane makes for an easy access to this area. We have another dirt page with more information about the Pine Nuts. The area provides fun riding for all levels of difficulty and is primarily hard packed dirt or sand, with the occasional rocky hill climb. Visitors can climb these hills to enjoy views of the Carson Valley.
To the West, the community of Johnson Lane is an OHV-friendly community. There are many dirt roads around the town, many of which can be used by OHVs. Please note, however, that these areas are primarily light commercial and residential neighborhoods. Respect all traffic signs and traffic laws, and be aware of pedestrians.
