Boulder Mountain Off-Road Vehicle Trails
The Boulder Mountain OHV Trail is part of the extensive 40+ mile Batey-Bould looped trail system, offering a thrilling experience for intermediate and advanced motorcycle riders. With its technical single-track, rugged terrain, and steep climbs and descents, this trail is perfect for those who enjoy a challenge. Beginning riders, however, may find the terrain demanding and better suited to more experienced adventurers.
The trail features bridges, puncheons, and natural seeps, adding to the variety of its terrain. Mountain bikers will also find Boulder Mountain Trail a rewarding but demanding ride. Stretching from scenic meadows to open peaks, the trail offers breathtaking views of the Pend Oreille River Valley.
This system connects with the Little Pend Oreille Trail System on DNR land, adding another 45 miles of ORV trails for those looking to extend their adventure. While primarily designed for motorized use, the trail system also provides excellent opportunities for horseback riding, especially on weekdays when motorized traffic tends to be lighter.
The Batey-Bould Trailhead serves as a convenient basecamp, featuring four campsites equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, hand-pump water spigots, and toilets—perfect for those planning an overnight adventure.
Motorized vehicle users: Make sure you have your MVUM with you!
Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) are the official maps for designating all roads and trails available for public motorized travel on the Colville National Forest. Visitors should not rely on any other map for making decisions about motorized travel. A MVUM is a legally enforceable document that identifies the roads, trails, and areas where motor vehicle use is allowed in a Forest Service administrative unit or ranger district. Forest User Maps combine information from the Motor Vehicle Use Maps and firewood cutting information. This provides a single map that includes the necessary information you will need to navigate the forest for recreation, firewood cutting, and other adventures.
