The Arapeen ATV Trail System in Central Utah, located just 2 hrs. south of Salt Lake on Highway 89, is a great family trail with plenty of advanced sections for experienced riders.

The Sanpete Valley has 10 major canyons to explore near the towns of Fairview, Ephraim, & Manti. You can ride up one canyon, travel along the “Skyline”, and come down another.
The Utah Arapeen ATV Trail System is a great place to ride a four wheeler if you want to avoid the crowded canyons closer to the city. Exciting ATV trails can be found up every canyon in Sanpete. Although only 350 miles of trail have been designated as the Arapeen Trail System, there are more than 1,000 miles of forest trail in the area. UTV’s (side-by-sides) are allowed on nearly all trails in the Sanpete area.

The ATV trail system ascends from 6,000 to 10,000 feet (1,829 to 3,048 meters) through aspen and pine forests of the Manti-LaSal National Forest and includes the “Skyline Drive” and trails branching off from it. Skyline Drive is a mountain road that winds for 87 miles along the spine of the Wasatch Plateau and is perhaps one of the highest roads in the nation. From the Skyline you can often see both sides of the mountain.

Some routes are passable only by ATVs, UTVs, or Dirt Bikes; others can be traveled in a high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicle. The National Forest is also a great place to camp, fish, hunt, and rock climb.
All ATV and OHV trails are open to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. On your ride look for Deer, Elk, and other mountain wildlife. Be sure not to miss the colorful summer wildflowers!
Primitive backcountry camping is allowed so find a nice location in a grove of trees and set up camp. Photo Location: Fairview Canyon
The road to Log Canyon is located approximately 1.7 miles north of Fountain Green City on Highway 132. Maple Canyon is located Northwest of Moroni City. Look for road signs to Maple Canyon on the West end of Moroni or on the South end of Fountain Green. To ATV the Big Hollow area, head east in Ft. Green on 100 North. The Water Hollow ATV trail leaves Highway 132 approximately 3.5 miles north of Ft. Green. The Big Hollow/ Water Hollow loop is a low altitude ride (6,300-7,400 feet) that can be done when snow covers higher elevations.
Do out-of-state riders need a non-resident OHV Permit?
Owners of OHVs, brought into Utah by non-residents, may need a non-resident permit for their machine. Many states offer reciprocity, meaning there is a mutual agreement between states not to charge non-residents fees. Utah has reciprocity with most western states- with the exception of Colorado, Nevada, and Wyoming. To see if you need a permit visit the Utah State Parks web page. Permits can be purchased locally at:
