Spring has sprung in Nevada! Discover the best places to view wildflowers in bloom here!
The Peavine Mountain, Peavine Maze and Dog Valley riding areas are unique in that they are primarily on USFS lands close to the City of Reno urban interface, and provide locals and visitors with easy access to the staging areas and trails. The area is a web of motorized roads and trails, purpose-built mountain bike trails, and shared use trails. The terrain begins in the sagebrush at lower elevations and rises into beautiful alpine forests. The hills provide amazing views of the valley and City of Reno.
Trails are of varying difficulty and provide opportunities for all levels of riders and drivers. A motorized singletrack network called the Peavine Maze is currently undergoing a Nevada OHV planning grant for expansion, offering up to 19 miles of new trails planned in the next three years.
Because this is a popular, shared-use area, please be safe and considerate of other trail users. Please see map for description and location of the Non-Motorized Areas.
For visitor information visit the City of Renos website.
A campsite is available on the California side of the mountain at Lookout Campground.
Motorized use prohibited to the south east side of the mountain.
