About this spot

Exit Check Station

The Exit Check Station in the Mojave watershed of California is a checkpoint that monitors for invasive species and agricultural pests. It is located on the eastbound Interstate 40, just a few miles before the Arizona border. The station is operated by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and is staffed by trained inspectors who check vehicles and products for any signs of invasive species. The checkpoint is open year-round and operates during daylight hours.

While the primary purpose of the Exit Check Station is to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species, it also provides visitors with a unique opportunity to learn about the Mojave watershed and the importance of protecting its natural resources. The station is situated in a scenic desert landscape and offers views of the surrounding mountains, as well as informational displays about the area's flora and fauna. Visitors can also interact with the knowledgeable staff, who can answer questions about the checkpoint's operations and the ecosystem of the Mojave watershed. Overall, the Exit Check Station is a worthwhile stop for anyone traveling through the area who wants to learn more about the region's ecology and conservation efforts.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
