I've got my annual trip to Outwest planned for July 1st weekend. We've done for a few years now. We like the mud and the tighter trails to ride. Does anyone have a good map of the area. Seems like every year we end up hitting the same trails or going in circles.

Is there any good falls by that could be round trip in a day from the campground?

Can't be certain but I was told that the road going into the staging area for Falls Creek was closed to the public due to logging but it was still aright to access Falls Creek from Out West. Maybe some can confirm.

Do not get caught in the creek, $20,000 max fine, a mandatory court appearance

We're heading to Outwest this weekend and are looking for some good, family friendly trails. Not into getting stuck in a big mud pit, just looking for a few nice loops to do.

Are there any maps available?

Falls creek is an environmental closure. Lol. In other words. Clear cut as far as the eye can see. I'm Blown away at how the logging has left that area.

kinda why i stopped going.

go out there , dont know where to go , end up going in circles for 2 days and hate the entire experience.


i asked the same question like 5 years ago.

It would be nice to know which trails have a dead end or which loop around some where and return.

if your like me unless it goes to a amazing spot you hate riding to a dead end and back.

I never did find the waterfalls and everyone i rode with said this sucks lets go somewhere else.

all GPS logs and printed maps should be provided before every campout so people know if they are going into a good trail or dead ends.

We run a fully marked trail for the campout, it's actually easy to follow even when it's not campout time. If you head down the hill from the campground to the highway, head west in the ditch to the next road south follow pink & black ribbons.

About 65km, wasn't it Teeg? It was an awesome loop, lots of great scenery.

pretty close yes, I can't remember if it was 65 or 73....... We changing it up a bit this year hopefully, get some new terrain into the loop. Would love to be able to get it certified and protected as an ATV Trail, and am working on getting info on how to do that.

make sure you buy your tickets in advance if you have a spot booked for the Jamboree Weekend, we will be charging $5 more per ticket at the campground. https://ticketbud.com/events/5aa72f78-165d-11e6-af0b-bf2ef4648a30
