Description

The Winnemucca area boasts a network of 26 diverse multiuse trails, among which the renowned Bloody Shins Trail takes the spotlight. Spanning 12 to 17 miles, its length depends on the chosen loops, offering distinct beginner, intermediate, and advanced segments.

For both hikers and horseback riders, an abundance of trails and rock gardens beckon exploration, rendering the possibilities seemingly boundless. Whether following established routes on the trail map or forging a personal adventure, the choices are yours to make.

These trails encompass a variety of terrains, featuring single tracks, double tracks, and dirt roads. Some align fully or partially with a connecting OHV trail system, adding to the versatility. It's worth noting that signage within the trail system can be sparse, adding an element of exploration to the experience.
