Weston Recreation Area

This popular recreation area is located on the Thunder Basin National Grassland, about 30 miles north of Gillette via State Highway 59, and is accessible year-round. There are 15 miles of looping Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trails that cross over 3,000 acres of public land jointly managed by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Wyoming State Trust.

These trails offer varying degrees of difficulty from beginner to the more experienced rider and include 2 trail bridges and hill climbs. The majority of the trails are only open to OHVs less than 60 inches in length on BLM land and 50 inches in length on Forest Service land. Area development has improved over the years and there are additional projects in the works.  

There are several parking areas located along the main road with the largest located next to 59. A vault toilet is located across from the Weston Reservoir Pond and there are many dispersed campsites located on Forest System Road 1246 with many of the best sites located at the top of the buttes on BLM land.
