Ballinger Canyon Rd. is where the Songdog Ranch is, a very nice, Hipcamp-affiliated set of rustic campsites and eclectic lodging. It is also a way to get to some OHV spots.

Great trails!!! unfortunately a lot of whoops but if you get on some of the more difficult single track it's not as bad.

Nice riding area, much more single tracks than SXS or even quad trails. We visited on a Sunday, and it was pretty quiet. We saw two groups of 2 or 3 riders that we came across the whole day

This place is phenomenal! If you're looking for a place to ride your OHV and do some camping at the same time look no further. Campsites are really nice and are big to big enough for a couple of toytrailer RV/camper plus vehicles, bikes(ATV) tents, and room to chill n hang out around the firepit or picnic table which each camp spot has both those amenities. Or just come for the day and pay to use the day use area for only 10 bucks. I would recommend coming with somebody who can be a buddies to ride with. They say that because there are probably hundreds of miles of trails here and the receptionist body so finding your way back can become quite confusing as it did for me and kind of spooked me as I was kind of lost for a minute and was hoping I wouldn't run out of gas. There is a trail map you can download on the rangers website, or bring your satellite GPS.

The cleanest vaulted toilets I've ever had the pleasure to use. The trails are more suited for 2 wheels, but we found plenty for the sxs.

great place to ride ! many trails from beginner to advance can go for miles without finding the end of the trail. So much to explore
