With hundreds of miles of sandy washes through vibrant sandstone outcroppings and canyons, Logandale Trails makes for a memorable trail riding destination. Have your camera ready because this spot is jammed packed with amazing geology and scenic views. Located in Moapa Valley, Logandale Trails is extremely popular for OHV use, but don’t let that deter you. There’s plenty of space for everyone.
The Logandale Trail system is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and features nearly 200 miles of trails through a spectacular landscape of colorful sandstone formations and red sand. If you are thinking that it looks suspiciously similar to Valley of Fire State Park, that’s because Logandale actually sits just outside the boundaries of the park!
The riding here is virtually unlimited. Meander through sandy washes and dunes, explore narrow canyons, or navigate the sandstone ridges. Plant life is sparse, mostly creosote and scrub brush, but watch out for catclaw mesquite – it will hook you if you brush by! Animal life is equally sparse, but keep an eye open for bighorn sheep, desert tortoises, or the elusive Gila monster. There is no water on the trail.
Though Logandale is open to horsesback riding and hiking, it is primarily used for OHV recreation. You probably do not want to try to ride here on a weekend, but should expect to see some jeeps and ATVs even on a weekday. Most are outfitted with flags so it is easy to hear and see them.
Temps in this part of Nevada get hot fast, so the best season for riding is winter and spring.
Getting Here
Where to Park: While Logandale is easy to find, the road in is wash-boardy and rough. We do not recommend bringing in a big rig. Follow the main road all the way in to where the sandstone formations start. There is a large parking area with restrooms, garbage, and picnic tables.
