Happy Trails! WELCOME!Your Adventure
Awaits!This is a trail the whole family can enjoy! There are no sections of the Silver State Trail that an intermediate rider cannot handle, but please remember to be prepared for remote back country riding. There are five trailheads located along the trail for your staging and camping needs.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GOCertain sections of trail run through high elevations and may not be accessible during winter months due to inclement weather. Please remember to bring plenty of water as no drinking water is available at the trailheads or along the trail.

public agencies, planning for your trip, taking recreation skills
classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment
safely.
avoid sensitive areas such as meadows, lake shores, wetlands,
and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects wildlife
habitat and sensitive soils from damage.
Do your part by leaving the area better than you found it, properly
disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the
spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a
local enthusiast organization.
Extreme temperature swings are common in the Great Basin. Plan ahead and prepare by checking the weather and bringing clothing for all types of weather.
The Chief Mountain area provides some fun loop opportunities.
Joshua trees reach their arms skyward near Chief Mountain South Trailhead.

tHe Silver State trail iS...Multiple UseAlthough the Silver State Trail is a designated off-highway
vehicle recreation trail, it is used for many different activities.
Some of these include hunting, access routes for ranching,
hiking, and firewood gathering.
Wildlife HabitatMany animals of all shapes and sizes call these steep slopes
and low-lying valleys home. Animals of the Great Basin have
adapted unique traits that enable them to live in this environment
of extremes. One way to respect their habitat is by staying on
existing roads and trails.
Bordered by WildernessThe Silver State Trail is bordered by a few designated
wilderness areas. Wilderness areas are free from motorized
or mechanized equipment and provide a place of solitude
for its inhabitants and visitors. A day trip hiking through the
wilderness provides an opportunity to witness the forces of
nature, unhindered by the hand of man. If you plan to visit,
please know the rules and regulations for wilderness.
Culturally RichAlong the way, you may find yourself in the exact spot where someone stood long ago. Possibly
they left something behind, maybe a drawing, an old tool, a building, or even a gravestone.
These pieces of history play an important role in fitting the puzzle of our past together. Please
take pictures but leave the rest for others to enjoy.
HistoricRanching and mining has occurred here for over a
hundred years and is still very present today. The trail
crosses many gates and mine shafts, new and old. Please
do your part by closing gates behind you and staying
clear of any mining areas—they are riddled with deep
shafts and other hazards.
The desert tortoise, an endangered species, makes his home in the Mohave Desert. You may see one while riding on the Silver State Trail.
Local TownsPanacaAccess to the Silverstate Off-highway Vehicle (OHV) Trail from Panaca is near the airport. From the gas station at the corner of Highway 93 and State Route 319, head north on 93 for about 200 hundred yards, and look for the sign pointing west toward the airport. You will be turning left off the highway.
Follow this road, taking a right at the fork by the airport. From here you are on the access road for the Silverstate Trail. You will see small trail signs along the road. In another 12 miles, you will reach the Deadman Crossing of the Silverstate Trail.
PiocheFrom Pioche, you can access the Silverstate OHV Trail by heading north on Highway 93. Five miles north of Pioche, look for mile marker LN 124. A short distance past this marker, turn left onto the Silverstate OHV Trail. Two miles ahead is the Stampede Trailhead.
CalienteFrom the Caliente BLM Office, the access route for the Silverstate OHV Trail parallels Highway 93 for about 4 miles through a driveable wash. From here, you may cross the highway and hop onto the trail or take the highway for another 4 miles, then turn right onto the Silverstate Trail at the Chief Mountain-South Trailhead.
