What type of grass for ATV trail/crossing

[deerhunter93]

I'm looking for suggestions for a fast growing grass that has good roots and can help slow erosion on ATV/access trails?

We have a pretty much dirt trail that goes downhill for 40 yards or so towards a creek crossing and we are wanting to get something to grow there to help slow runoff/erosion. Thanks!

Reeds canary will form a sod on wet ground. It’s everywhere in iowa on a lot of bottom land. Not a fan of it but for that reason it’s good. U could run a “waterway mix” that includes fescue & perennial rye grass. & add canary to it if it’s wet. Can buy this online or places around Des Moines for example carry it. There’s a seed place off university exit on east side Des Moines.... im pretty sure they have it or can order easy.
