Offroad Trails in Logandale Trail Network

A Region within Nevada

4/5 (61)

Tucked away in the southeastern corner of Nevada is a red rock haven for off-road enthusiasts. Comprised of over 45,000 acres and 200 miles of trails, this desert landscape will surely thrill any motorized recreation user, no matter what kind of trail they are after.

The northern end of this region is home to the proper entrance and the trailhead, where users can air down and prepare for the journey ahead. Looping around the heart of this network is the Logandale Main Loop, an easy scenic drive jogging between towering fins, past ancient petroglyphs, and over soft golden sand dunes.

If rock crawling is your thing, you have not been left out! Located right near the trailhead is a network of difficult trails to challenge any well built rig. Reminiscent of the rocks of Moab, challenges include slickrock waterfalls, severely undercut ledges, and general holes and off-camber situations. Some ledges, although optional, reach over 5 feet tall!

Camping is a big draw to the area, with many options for dispersed camping. There are two bathrooms located in the area, with sandy campsites strewn throughout the main loop, easily accessible by just about any high clearance vehicle, and even large camp trailers. If isolation is more your style, consider heading to the south end of the loop, where small and more private sites are tucked away into the red rock fins.

Although Logandale is primarily popular with locals, it is worthy of a broader audience. With its wide array of trails and conditions, combined with nearby activities such as Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead, this is an amazing central location for days of thrilling adventure. Pack up your rigs and head to the red rock paradise known as Logandale!

Nevada: Logandale Main Loop 01 Hero Photo

4.4/5 (17 reviews)

Logandale Main Loop 01

Similar to the red rocks of Moab and Sand Hollow, Logandale Trails is a four-wheeler paradise on a smaller scale. Logandale is located in the Moapa Valley of Nevada, about an hour northeast of Las Vegas. The 21,000-acre trail system is a multi-use park with numerous diverse trails and exceptional interpretive sites, all maintained by local volunteers. While easily traveling through towering red rock canyons, you'll have endless options for a truly epic campsite. The southern boundary is The Valley of Fire State Park, so the natural red Aztec sandstone rock formations are found throughout the OHV park, beginning right at the trailhead. The main loop presented here is an effective way to experience this unique region, view numerous petroglyphs, or connect with just about every trail within the park.

Old Spanish Trail North

The Old Spanish Trail in southern Nevada was the main trade route in the region from 1826 to 1848. The settlers and traders of the time had to travel through these harsh desert conditions to reach settlements to the north. This northern section follows a portion of the historic trail that borders the Valley of Fire State Park. The route is easy enough for stock 4x4s and an excellent way to connect Las Vegas with many other regional trails. The early section of the trail is a vast open desert, but it eventually works its way into a very scenic canyon with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. The entire area is also great for those interested in geology and rockhounding.

Weiser Valley

Weiser Valley, located within the Logandale OHV area, is an excellent and easy way to catch a glimpse of the unique landscape that this region of Nevada is known for. The trail travels through a picturesque canyon with unique and colorful rock formations, including a natural arch high up along a rocky ridgeline. Weiser Valley can be used to access Logandale OHV Trails such as The Bowl, Matterhorn, and Hawkins Trails, as well as the remnants of the Silver Queen Gypsum mine. A large group camping area at the trailhead makes for an ideal base camp while you explore the area for days. Connecting this trail with others makes for a long and scenic overland route.

Double Powerline

Double Powerlinel, located near Moapa Valley, is an excellent alternative for off-road users looking to access other trails without traveling on the highway. The route easily and quickly connects two popular OHV regions. The trail crosses underneath large power lines while traveling through sections of private property. The route can be combined with other published trails to make for a long and memorable overland route. The terrain in the area varies from rolling sand hills and jagged ridgelines. Sections of the route offer a glimpse into the Muddy River basin, where the ribbon of dense vegetation stands in stark contrast.

Ute Road

Nevada

Ute Road was once paved, but after severe flash flooding and washouts, it has become a patchwork of pavement, dirt, embedded rock, and ledges serving as a gatekeeper to accessing the Weiser Valley trail system. The only option to avoid Ute Road is to use Old Spanish Trail North.

Ute Road's excitement is located within the rock canyon that cuts through California Ridge. In the canyon, you will find plenty of opportunities to test the articulation of your suspension and your line-choice ability. You will even be greeted by the remains of what is perhaps an early 2000s mid-sized SUV. Dispersed campsites can be found on the west end of the canyon, making them accessible from I-15 without entering the canyon. Additional camping is available at the trailhead area of Weiser Valley.

At its eastern end, Ute Road dead ends at a management gate, making it purely a road for the excitement of the obstacles and to access Weiser Valley.

Warm Up Canyon

Nevada

Warm Up Canyon is an alternate way into the rocky portions of the Logandale Trails network. Although short, this rocky and tight canyon has a few different line options to get you through the one long obstacle. Be sure to get out and walk it if you are new to off-roading, as it can get rather tippy if you are not careful. Camping is available on the south end, where it meets up with Logandale Main Loop.

5/5 (1 reviews)

Hidden Canyon

Nevada

Hidden Canyon is a neat trail running through a tight canyon from Logandale Main Loop to West Rim Alternate. This rocky trail has numerous obstacles suited for modified vehicles and experienced drivers. Although most obstacles are easier than nearby Shredder Trail and Bronco Falls, one waterfall requires attention and a slight lift at a minimum. Running this trail from east to west will make the waterfall an uphill challenge and significantly harder. Downhill (west to east) is recommended if you have any concerns. There is one campsite on the eastern side, right where it meets with Logandale Main Loop.

West Rim Alternate

Nevada

Another option along the west side of the rocks is West Rim Alternate. This is a slightly rockier version of West Rim but also provides access to Hidden Canyon. Due to a few rocky patches and a small V notch, 4WD is required. Although it may not be overly difficult or exciting, it is a great alternative to the Logandale Main Loop to get away from the crowds. Camping is not an option directly on this trail, but the nearby Logandale Main Loop has plenty of options.

West Rim

Nevada

West Rim runs parallel to Logandale Main Loop on the outside of the rocks. This moderate trail provides small rocky patches, loose climbs and descents, and minor washouts. Full-width vehicles may struggle with the narrowness of this trail, especially if a storm has rolled through and washed out the northern portions in the dirt hills. This is an excellent trail to bypass the more popular route through the canyon, as you will likely be alone out there. Camping is not an option directly on this trail, but the nearby Logandale Main Loop has plenty of options.
