Jarbidge is a recreational paradise and a history buff's dream.  Hiking, 4-wheeling, dirt biking, horseback riding, packhorse trips,

snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, fishing, and hunting are some of the exciting activities people come to Jarbidge to enjoy.  Many old

buildings and mining ruins still exist today.

• Sightseeing

             Don't think you need a 4-wheel vehicle to have an enjoyable experience.  The scenery from the main road is rewardable enough.

        From Rogerson, ID drive through North Canyon, have lunch in Jarbidge, and drive out through the South Canyon and on to Hwy. 225

       which leads to Elko.  It's a lovely daytrip.

• Jarbidge Wilderness Area

           Five miles south up the Jarbidge Canyon begins the Wilderness Trail.  You'll experience mountain vistas, lush springs, forests, rivers,

        high desert terrain, and mountain lakes.  While walking you'll see an old miner's cabin and mine and the Jarbidge and  Emerald Lakes.

• 4-Wheeling

             Bring your ATV's, jeeps, and 4-wheel drive pickups.  Roads are geared from novice to expert abilities.  The main road through the

        canyon follows the Jarbidge River from Murphy's Hot Springs to the South Canyon Road, a distance of approx. 21 miles.  It's an easy

        drive through steep canyon walls (be sure to look for Window Rock), the Jarbidge townsite, and ending 1/3 mile from the Jarbidge

        Wilderness Area.  Mining and hunters' roads lead to such places as the Indian Princess, vacated ranch houses, forested creeks, and

        majestic views at 8.000 ft.

• Copper Basin

             This panoramic area is full of wildflowers in the summer and colorful aspen trees in the fall.  Be sure to look for the Basque

        sheepherders' influence found in the tree carvings, abandoned cabins, and bake ovens.  The remnants of the Mission Cross Mine

        are located in Copper Basin.

• Gold Creek Road

             This is another route into Jarbidge which leads to Wildhorse Reservoir or Mountain City; both located on Hwy. 225 out of Elko.

        Unavailable during the winter and early spring months.

• Jarbidge Community Hall

             Even though the Hall was built in 1911, it is still used today for meetings, dances, church services, weddings, craft fairs, and bingo.

        Come see the original stage curtain depicting a Venetian gondolier and ads for early businesses, no longer here.  Old photos and an

        historical display, as well as the Jarbidge Archives, are housed here.

• Jarbidge Townsite

             Walk Main Street and see old miners' huts and stables, the Jarbidge Jail, Nevada Hotel, and former brothels.
