Utah is one of the greatest places on earth for off-road enthusiasts. From vast, sweeping dunes to narrow, rocky trails, it has something for everyone. There are countless UTV trails in Utah for you to explore.
When you’re looking for a place to ride in Utah, the hardest part is narrowing down where to go. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the best off-roading areas in Utah.
Here you’ll find everything from winding forest paths to technical rocky trails. No matter your skill level or off-road vehicle, you’re sure to find something you like.
NOTE: Park details and prices reflect what was current as of June 2021.
No matter what kind of trails you like—technical rocks, winding forests, sweeping deserts—Utah most likely has something for you. With so many places to explore, it’s hard to go wrong in Utah.
Be sure to call ahead before you head out. Some trails are not open year-round. Weather and other factors can cause trails to close. We’d hate to have you head out only to find that your dream trail is closed.
Check back often, as we’ll be exploring great riding spots in other states in the future. Know of a great trail in Utah that we missed? Let us know in the comments!
You left out the premier riding destination in Utah. The Piute Trail system in central Utah consists of everything from dirt roads to 50 inch technical trails for “experts”. The system consists of up to 3,000 miles of trails.
That’s what you guys are here for 🙂 To let us know what one’s we’re missing. Unfortunately, we don’t have the pleasure of living in all of these areas, so the feedback is great. Thanks for the heads up!
Can anyone recommend a place to RV near Zion national Park. Was looking at Sand Hallow. Would like somewhere I can use my RZR while Im there in the area.
I was there a few weeks back. First time out. It was beyond incredible. The Sand Mountain on top is a playground! The place has some challenging stuff so be prepared! I’ll be coming back!
The San Rafael Swell has an extensive network of UTV trails that are amazing with jaw-dropping views all around. Petroglyphs, arches, and so much more!
You left out my favorite place to ride in the State of Utah…I’m actually glad you did, it’s never crowded:). Agreed, Utah has so much to offer in diversity and experience for off road enthusiasts. I’ve lived here my entire life and have been an active off-roader for 35 years. I’m still finding new places that blow my mind!

Thanks, Jeff!
Hi Jeff, We are going to be in Duck Creek for a week in June with our full size SXS, can you recommend a few must do trails please?
I have to agree with Dale, how can you NOT mention the “Piute Trail”?

The Barracks trail is the best. Off of Coral Pink Sand Dunes.

You left out the Swell? You have got to be kidding me?
Hey Dave, thanks for the feedback. The good thing is we’re never out of options with such a beautiful state!

Coming on vacation from Maine. We love riding and plan on renting ATV’s. Any opinion on whether the Moab or Zion area is better?

Secret spots are the best spots!
