Living in Wyoming? You’ve got some really great dirt bike trails around which are close to Cheyenne, Casper and Laramie.

Whether you’re new to the sport or are an experienced rider, seeing the state or in fact, the entire country by motorcycle is one sure fire way to have fun! Life isn’t meant to be lived behind the cell phone screen.

Best Dirt Bike Riding Tracks in Wyoming

We’ve created this guide after trawling through many forum posts and Facebook groups. This took us some time and we’ve removed MX riding circuits as those tracks are generally for racing enthusiasts as opposed to enduro riders.

To go riding legally, you’ll need a Wyoming ORV Permit if you are riding on public land. It’s best to purchase these online prior to heading out. We also wanted to bring you the more premium areas in which to ride, thus, this list is short yet sweet.

These are Wyoming’s best dirt bike trails:

1. Long Springs

Long Springs is considered to be a great area to explore on a dirt bike and it’s right on the border with Idaho. It’s withou the Caribou-targhee National Forest and there are around 30 miles of single track to explore in this beautiful alpine forest. The terrain is quite rugged and you can camp at Palisades Reservoir.

2. McCullogh Peaks

McCullough Peaks is immensely popular with riders all over Wyoming because there are more than 100 miles of trails to cover in this open area. The tracks are quite easy-going and you’ll probably lift up into 5th gear on occasions too. There are boat ramps and campgrounds so it isn’t just about the riding here.

3. Red Lake Motorized Recreation Area

This is government land and everyone is welcome to ride the many trails and play areas. Given that the foliage is limited, you can really ride anywhere you want in most cases. The staging area allows even the biggest toy haulers to pull up and unload and the area doesn’t close in the winter months. No camping here but some people simply camp overnight anyway.

4. White Mountain

WHen you’re chasing miles of loops and more loops,k don’t look any further than White Mountain. This is another place where it’s open year-round and is ideal for riding dirt bikes. People come from across Wyoming and even out of state to experience this place and really pick up some serious speed on their motorcycles. If you’re itching for top gear, then this is the place to do it.

5. Killpecker Sand Dunes

Killpecker is a sand dune and the 2nd largest in the world, with the largest being Fraser Island in Australia. There isn’t any base here so if you can, fit a paddle tyre to keep your traction strong as you push through this stuff. If you’re jumping then bring some buddies with one volunteering as a spotter during their rest times since this place can get busy during weekends and the holiday season.

6. Boulder Park

Inside BIghorn National Forest is Boulder Park where you’ll find miles and miles of epic logging roads in which to let your front tire lead. The scenery is even better with great views over the valleys and tall pine trees mixed in with some open savannah. Fortunately there is a campground here and we do recommend staying 1 to 2 nights to really see everything. Not much in the way of facilities here though so you’ll need to haul everything in.

The type of trails that the Government of Ontario approves riding. Essentially, these spots are legal and often free provided you have a licence and registration on your motorcycle.

Best Dirt Bike Tracks Ontario

In creating this guide, Frontaer looked for hours as to where riders were spending their weekends. We did this work to save you the time and effort so you could get straight out there and explore yourself. Whether you’re using a trailer or are the type to ride straight in (hello there dual-sport and adventure riders!), you won’t be disappointed with this list.

These are currently the most popular dirt bike trails in Ontario:

1. Voyageur Multi-Use Trail Sytem

Everyone knows Voyageur and it’s near Mattawa. There are various loops and the terrain has open country and forested tracks paired with some gnarly hill climbs. Diversity galore and for the beginner, this is certainly recommended yet those with a few years riding experience won’t be left disappointed. People drive from across the border actually to ride here so you won’t just be sharing it with locals. Note: This spot gets busy on weekends.

2. Ganaraska Forest Dirt Bike Trails

Head northest from Toronto and you’ll come across Newcastle and the Ganaraska Forest. You may want to bring an extra gas can or two because there is more than 200 miles in which to explore through forests and open country. The best riding conditions are the summer months but avoid the region after recent rainfall as it can be quite muddy.

3. Northumberland County Forest

While not as big as Ganaraska, Northumberland is still worth the visit. You’ll find this trail system near Cobourg and the area is looked after very well by the Northumberland Trail Riders Club. This spot is also used by 4×4 enthusiasts so it’s best to slow down on blind corners.

4. Burnt River Dirt Bike Park

For the motocross rider, this one is quite popular and very close to Toronto, Mississauga and Hamilton,. You can choose the motocross park or let yourself loose on the 13km trail system. For those helping their children to develop skills on 2-wheels, the PeeWee track is very popular and has some good jumps and easy corners with mild whoop sections.

5. Erie Ramblers

Yes, this is a motocross track but a very natural one. It’s southwest of Wheatley and near Detroit. Unfortunately, this spot is only open to riders during summer and slightly into September due to the cold weather and lack of numbers, but worth checking out if you’re tired of the crowds at other areas.

6. GoPHER Dunes

While yes, this is a motocross track in parts but you’ll love the 26km of groomed trails ready to explore. It’s really flat out here so you won’t have to deal with frustrating hill climbs and descents. You’ll be struggling to get lost out here too because everything is clearly marked. If you prefer the sand and mud over the gnarly rocks, then head to GoPHER this weekend!

Get Yourself Going

We’re tired of seeing armchair riders in the dirt biking community. Those that spend more time reading and watching instead of being out there and developing their skills. Unless you’re recovering from injury, make the most of this guide and get out there yourself!

If you’re struggling to find others to ride with, then head into the Toronto Facebook group. Inside you’ll find other likeminded people who welcome beginners. They also organize camping trips and some week-long expeditions into other riding areas of Canada. Well worth it!
