Prison Hill features seven trails for users to enjoy. The longest and more strenuous loop is the Escape from Prison Hill Loop, which includes the North Loop, Dead Truck Canyon Trail, Valley View Loop, Mexican Ditch Trail, and the West Loop. There are trail markers placed about every mile. The trails are well maintained and are mostly comprised of sand and dirt footing.
Portions of the Escape from Prison Hill Loop intersect with the OHV play area; keep an eye out for oncoming traffic.
The Prison Hill trail connecting 5th street trailhead to Silver Saddle Ranch is the only ADA trail at this time.
Motorized trail use is reserved to only the southern end of the hill. The major staging area is located at 3100 Golden Eagle Lane. Please stick to designated trails. Visit The Dirt for more information about the OHV trails.
