Great video, interesting to see the changes in the trail. I have twenty years riding experience up 8th but now It has been twenty years since I have ridden there.
Last year I tried riding Daggett Creek Trail. I started off Boise Ridge Rd. where you exited. I got stopped by the deep narrow ruts around the 8:45 mark of your video. You rode in the opposite direction than I did. My TW200 sits too low to go up this part. I'm guessing coming down I might have made it but see you encountered ruts prior to this as well. The other entrance to this trail is past the point you exited, still off Boise Ridge Rd if you were riding towards Boise Basin. I rode down this part of the trail for a couple miles before time ran out. Riding up (or down) Daggett Creek wasn't fun, was it? Because of the ruts, I got to ride through it twice, yee haw! I've only ridden what you did in segments. Still very fun. Thanks for sharing.
That's about as early that one would want to do Daggett. This year we'll need to wait until June I'm guessing. Thanks for posting the video. Why not use the Beta?
what way did you go through daggett creek? clear creek up or boise Ridge down? and what trails did you take to get to the start of daggett creek? never rode that trail this is why I am asking
That was my first ride there too. I tried to find the trail from the top but there were too many forking routes going down. So I rode down the old logging road from the ridge (FS275E to FS263), turned left on Clear Creek road (FS261) and rode until I found where the Daggett Creek trail crossed Sheep Creek on my left. The trail there is pretty easy to see if you're looking for it. It's also pretty easy to see on Google Maps satellite view.
Nope. They'll close them if a fire if burning in the area, but not to prevent fires. USFS-approved spark arrestors are required on all bikes riding on public lands here.
Thanks, my brother in Law lives in Nyssa, and I just bought a AJP 250 and want to ride single track and back roads when we are over there. I've been riding for decades . These videos help with my planning on places I can ride .
I am planning to buy a new WR250R in April 2017 and also planning a vacation to Boise the week of July 4th 2017 to visit some family. If I drive I will be bringing my WR250R with me. I would like to go on a ride like in this video or maybe some others in the area. Any suggestions?
There are plenty of great riding options within an hour of Boise in July. Most of the areas below are captured in part in some of my other videos: - Owyhee OHV Area (www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trails/info/idaho_04366/ride_9cc5.htm) - Danskin/Black's Creek OHV Area (www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trails/info/idaho_12700/ride_d803.htm) - Idaho City Area (www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trails/info/idaho_06385/ride_2262.htm) - Ridge To Rivers Trail System above Boise, as shown in the video above (www.riderplanet-usa.com/atv/trails/info/idaho_06408/ride_96c1.htm) Most of the locations above have mixed opportunities for riding dirt roads, ATV trails, and motorcycle single-track. Trail and Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) for the area are available online or at the location in Boise at this link: www.fs.usda.gov/detail/boise/maps-pubs/?cid=stelprdb5053223 If riding your new WR250R on our mountain single track you'll do best with lower gearing and knobby tires. The WRR's stock gearing and tires gave me fits, a several new scratches, when I first tried riding the trails in the video above. I laid the bike down a couple of times due to stalling in the section of video from 2:15 to 2:45. I wouldn't have attempted the section from 4:45 to 11:15 without lower gearing. I'm riding 13/51 gearing, which is similar to most enduro bikes in the area, but you'd probably be okay with anything from 13/47 to 13/51. For tires I like the Dunlop D606 DOT-rated knobbies, but there are other similar options out there too.

I haven't ridden Daggett for 35 years. I'm gonna keep it that way. Great video!

Imagine being a trout in that stream, telling a friend: "I tawt I taw a WR! WTF!!!" ;);)
Rough trail! Bushwacking, indeed!
awesome! my kind of riding.

Is there a point in the season where they close the trails do to fire danger. Here in Oregon they close almost everything with signs and warnings.
Nope. They'll close them if a fire if burning in the area, but not to prevent fires. USFS-approved spark arrestors are required on all bikes riding on public lands here.

Roger Smith Thanks for the info. Is the OHV permit required on plated motorcycles or just ATV's?
