Dunes and Trails ATV Club receives many requests for information about where to ride near Las Vegas. The following are some of the places you can enjoy riding your ATV. Please remember that ATVs cannot be ridden anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley except at Nellis Dunes. There are other restricted areas, which include, but are not limited to, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Indian Lands, military lands, wildlife refuge areas (Sheep Mountains), private lands, Wilderness areas, and State Parks. It is highly recommended that you contact the Las Vegas BLM office and purchase a BLM Surface Management map of the area you wish to ride. These maps show the ownership of the land, and are therefore a good guide to where you can and cannot ride. There are no regulations in Nevada governing OHVs except for the rules that the BLM and Forest Service have established on the lands that they manage. Please contact these agencies for their rules. Unless an area is posted as an open riding area, such as Nellis Dunes, riders must stay on existing roads and trails. No cross country riding is allowed. Finally, it is very important to carry the equipment you will need in case of an accident or breakdown. Plenty of water is a must at all times of the year in our desert. Dunes and Trails ATV Club strongly recommends that you do not ride in the desert areas in the summer heat, strongly recommends that you do not ride alone, and strongly recommends that riders wear proper protective equipment.
