I've come to El Mirage a couple of times in the last year for the SCTA runs. The first time my son and I just drove up to a kiosk and paid for the day pass. This last time there were people out stopping vehicles checking if you already had a day pass or if you needed to buy one and they directed you to where you needed to go. At that time we drove up to a side window at the main building to buy our day pass. A lot of off-roaders like to go out to El Mirage. SCTA also uses the dry lakebed a few times of the year for their Land Speed Racing runs. I think there are also people with land sail cars, gyro copters and ultralight aircraft also use the place. The SCTA event is located on the far western side of the dry lakebed. That requires driving across the lakebed. There seems to be two generalized routes that you can take as there is no defined route to take. One is driving along the northern end of the lake where there seems to be some kind of defacto road and the other is to just drive straight across the dry lake. Either way it's a very dusty drive. There is a speed limit on the dry lake so that you are not stirring up a giant dust cloud. In the late Spring and Summer months, it can become very very hot out on the lakebed. So make sure you bring plenty of water, sunscreen and anything that can provide some shade. I'm not 100% sure, but the building where you come in on to the dry lake might have drinks and snacks there, but they are not always open. There is a convenience store in El Mirage where it's the same situation of when they are open. Otherwise your only other options are Adelanto, to the east, or Lake Los Angeles, to the west, for gas and food.

Douhghlie04 | Sep 13, 2020

Yes it's open 24 hours according to their info on Google maps. You might want to call before driving out. Can't stress it enough check the Google maps info on Sunday. I think they only close when it rains but there is trails in the hilly range for motocross vehicles.

Cristian | Sep 13, 2020
Douhghlie04 | Sep 13, 2020

Yes tomorrow morning opens first thing. Check Google maps for hours. I was there last week.

Hello. Is there a place for staging and or unloading your motorcycle if you don't have ramps?

Olivier | Aug 14, 2022
sean m | Aug 14, 2022

Well up front twords the entrance Ive seen one but its in the practice area behind a small fenced in learning track. Otherwise you have to just drive and look for a small hill to back up to and unload that way. Ramps are pretty cheap at harbor freight.

Can you like cook food here? Like a mall bbq?

Carmen Delgado | May 16, 2022
