Located just off of I-80 in
Utah's west desert is the Knolls Recreation Area. With nearly
36,000 acres of sand dunes, hills, and mud flats, this place is the
perfect OHV play
area. The dunes are not as large as Jericho but just as
fun. If your looking for speed the mud flats are the
place, you can drive long distances on these flats and rarely
feel a bump. For a casual rid you can explore the many Knolls
which the area is named after. There are trails going in every
direction, pick one and explore the desert at your own pace, however
while exploring this area be sure to stay in the boundaries.

If you travel
south you will come to a fence, if you cross this you will be entering
the Dugway bombing range, not a good place to
be. So stay in bounds and watch for the fences, which are
clearly marked, and you'll be ok.
When planning your trip to this area there
are a few things you need to keep in mind. This place is very desolate
so bring plenty of water, food, etc. This is also a very bad area to have an
accident so be careful because accidents can and do happen when you
least expect it. On our trip my wife rolled her four wheeler and
broke her collar bone. You feel pretty helpless out in the middle
of the desert, and it can make for a very long drive to the hospital.
Luckily it wasn't a life threatening injury, but it is going to hurt for
a while.
Directions:
To get to the Knolls Recreation Area travel west on I-80 towards Wendover for approx 1 hr 45 minutes, until you see the Knolls exit
