Ruby’s Inn offers all services including gasoline, lodging, food and some mechanical repairs and services. ATV’s, OHV’s and UTV’s are not permitted in nearby Bryce Canyon National Park.

The northern end of the Fremont ATV trail starts in Circleville. The signed trailhead is located at 400 south and about 100 east.
