California City OHV Permit Program

There are over 1,800 miles of City combination use roads/dirt trails and 33.5 miles of designated OHV trails in California City, to include the OHV Trail into the City's Business District. The focus point was BLM Trail R5, at Campsite C and Chrysler Drive. Two OHV routes were designed from that point to Borax Bill Park, CC10 and CC5. CC10 is a route that follows non-maintained City streets (11 miles). CC5 is a challenging route through City easements (8.5 miles). CC5 merges into CC10 at Borax Bill Park, and continues on to the Business District (14 miles). The below map reflects the main roadways into California City, the OHV riding areas, the restricted areas for OHV operation, and the new OHV trails.
