Location: From Truckee take Highway 89 North approximately 4 miles north from I-80. Follow the signs to the Prosser Hill OHV Staging Area. Turn left at sign.
Features: This is a good family riding area; suitable for motorcycles and OHVs and easily accessible. The staging area is paved and has ramps for loading and unloading as well as vault restrooms. Many miles of OHV roads are accessible from the staging area and range from easy to moderately difficult. The Prosser Hill Motorcycle Trail is accessed across the dirt road directly south of the parking lot. This is a nine mile loop that takes you to the top of Prosser Hill. The trail is fairly challenging with some sharp switchbacks and has some outstanding views. A bridge crossing for motorcycles and OHVs on Prosser Creek accesses roads into the Sagehen Hills.
