 The Bloody Shins Trails were designated October 1998. This is the first trail to be developed in the Winnemucca Mountain Bike Trail System. Partners in the project include: The BLM-Winnemucca Field Office, Bikes & More, the Winnemucca Convention and Visitor's Authority, and the Nevada Division of Forestry, Rose Creek Honor Camp.

The trailhead is located at the end of Kluncy Canyon Rd. This location is convenient for both residents and visitors. The trails are open to non-motorized multiple uses.

This area offers panoramic views which span the valley floor and numerous mountain ranges.

Two trails are currently signed and cleared:

  • The beginner loop is seven miles
  • The intermediate loop is twelve miles

The advanced loop is 24 miles in length. It is scheduled to be completed in 1999.

The suggested non-motorized recreation uses on these trails are: Mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking.

There is a kiosk at the trailhead and the trails are marked with carsonite signs. The trail surfaces on all the loops are a combination of dirt roads, two track and single track trails. Mini cattleguards have been installed next to all gates so mountain bikers and hikers do not need to open/close gates.
