Farmington is an off-roading paradise! With thousands of acres and multiple recreation areas to explore, there's no limit to the off road adventures to be experienced. Farmington's off roading community has developed a world class system of trails garnering us national attention as a basecamp for off roading adventure!
Local and visiting off road enthusiasts rave about Farmington's recreation areas like Chokecherry Canyon / Glade Run Recreation Area, Head Canyon, and the Dunes Vehicle Recreation Area. With thousands of acres to traverse and over 100 miles of 4x4 trails, updating mapping and signage is a priority. Please check back for updates often. The following trails are located within the Glade Run Recreation Area. When visiting this recreation area, we strongly encourage trail users to visit the trail map kiosk at Brown Springs.
