Swingarm City is unlike any other riding area. The unique terrain that both beginner and expert can appreciate and enjoy is actually made of bennonite clay. There are also no trails – you can ride anywhere in the open area. Swing Arm City OHV Play Area is 2,602 acres.

In October 2008, this area was designated as the Factory Butte SRMA. Three OHV Open Areas (Swing Arm City, Factory Butte, Caineville Cove Inn) are available for motorized cross-country use, totaling around 8,000 acres. All other motorized use in the area is restricted to designated routes or closed. Motorized use within the Factory Butte SMRA is dependent on rider compliance. Stay within Open Areas or on Designated Routes to maintain your access. The area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
Riders have a range of motorized recreation opportunities, from challenging terrain to easy-riding scenic loops and cross country play areas.

Popular camping areas, such as The Rocks, adjacent to the Factory Bench road are available for camping; however, OHV use is restricted to designated routes of travel in those areas.
