Where the city says to start
"Mesquite is an OHV/ATV-friendly city, with its city roads open to street-legal off-road vehicles, making it ideal for enthusiasts who enjoy thrilling off-road adventures. The city boasts beautiful parks and miles of scenic city trails, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle within its community."
The City of Mesquite's parks list gives riders two OHV staging areas and a trailhead, and says Hunter Sports Park, Library Park, Old Mill Park, Pioneer Park and Pulsipher Park each connect to the city's trail system.
Riding in town
Nevada's OHV program says that "generally, operation of an OHV on the street is not allowed, unless posted," and that "City and county governments may designate small portions of public streets for access to or from off-road areas only and some age restrictions or other requirements may apply." Check the City of Mesquite's current rules before you ride a street.

Before the trails
Virgin Valley Heritage Museum
The City of Mesquite's museum, at 35 W Mesquite Blvd, exists "to deepen the understanding of the community and visitors about the Virgin Valley specifically Mesquite, Bunkerville and Southern Nevada." The building was the town's library, then its hospital until 1977; in 1984 the newly incorporated City of Mesquite designated it a museum. The city also publishes a Historical Walking Tour map.
It is where much of the book was researched. "I spent a lot of time at the (Virgin Valley Historical) museum and I found some great books about the area's history which gives wonderful information," Berg told The Progress.
