Jordan River OHV State Recreation Area

About Jordan River OHV State Recreation Area

This OHV destination is perfect for digging into the dirt. Four tracks, including two motocross (MX) tracks for off-highway motorcyclists, and two dual-purpose OHM and ATV tracks fill the space. For this densely populated part of the Wasatch Front, it's a perfect chance to get the toys out for some quick off-road action. While it's no Paiute or Arapeen... that is to say, it's not thousands of miles of well-maintained high-country trails systems like Central Utah boasts; it tides riders over. Plus, the facility offers OHV education courses, especially for youth ages 8-16; it's a required course for the age group to ride at the park or any of Utah's public lands. There are also sporadic spectator events.

How to Get There

Park is within the Salt Lake City limits, approximately 8 miles west and north of downtown. Take exit 25 off I-215 then take the frontage road (Rose Park Ln – 2100 N.) north to the park.
