Description

The Peavine Mountain 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 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 new single-track area, the Peavine Maze, is currently being expanded with several new dirt bike trails. 

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.
