Check out Off-Road Nevada's postings for these OHV trails and networks within Lander and Erueka Counties:

Austin-Toiyabe Trail System
This trail system is generally multi-use and caters to OHV, equestrian, mountain bike, and pedestrian activities, so riders should be prepared to meet a variety of trail users on their ride. The trail system takes riders through a variety of terrain, and generally follow existing two-track roads. Most trails in the area are suitable for a full size, 4-wheel drive vehicle. Expect OHV users to encounter exposed rocky trails, stream crossings, and significant elevation change.


Shoshone Trail System
The Shoshone OHV Trail System highlights great opportunities for OHV riding in the remote areas of Lander County in central Nevada.  Shoshone OHV Area is the first specifically designed Off-Road Vehicle complex in the state and includes over 60 miles of trail on BLM land.


Battle Mountain - Copper Basin
Battle Mountain is located right off I-80 between Winnemucca and Elko. This retro town in Nevada’s “Cowboy Corridor” offers plenty of activities, including thousands of acres in BLM lands for OHVs to explore.
