New off-road area opens near Cody
April 29, 2015 6:30 pm • By Star-Tribune staff writers
An area that has been used unofficially by off-road recreationists near Cody is now enrolled in the Wyoming State Trails Off Road Vehicle program. It will be enhanced and improved beginning at an event May 9.
The Northwest Wyoming Off Highway Vehicle Alliance led the effort to work with local and state officials and the landowner. The nearly 3,000-acre area is one mile from downtown Cody, adjacent to lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management and land owned by Wyoming State Lands and Investments.
Two open riding areas totaling more than 400 acres and more than 60 miles of trails, including a single track, will now be available for legal off road use.
Volunteers can help clean the trails from 9 a.m. to noon May 9. Expect a free barbecue and door prizes from local businesses. Riding areas will open officially to the public at 1 p.m.
