South Lava OHV Staging Area

Provides access to: • East Fort Rock OHV Trail system. South Lava OHV Staging area is located on the south end of the East Fort Rock OHV Trail system. This staging area is more remote than the staging areas on the north end of the trail system and provides access to several of the more difficult rated trails in a less populated area. The Ice Rock Quarry Play area is also easily accessed from the staging area. The area will accommodate small groups, RVs and trailers. Vehicular access is via the Finley Butte Road (Road 22) from LaPine and then approximately 2 miles of red cinder surfaced road into the staging area. A vault toilet is located on site. These trails and facilities are operated and maintained for your enjoyment by Central Oregon Combined OHV Operations (a Forest Service, & Bureau of Land Management Cooperative agreement), Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation ATV Funds, support from Polaris T.R.A.I.L.S and Yamaha OHV Initiative grants, several user groups and many other volunteers
