Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV)
An off-highway vehicle (OHV) is a motor vehicle capable of off-highway travel. OHV’s include all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s), four-wheelers, three-wheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles, and trail bikes.
Federal regulations require the operator of an OHV to follow these rules when on
National Forest land:
- Operate OHV’s only on areas, roads and trails designated as open to OHVs.
- Operator and vehicle must meet all applicable state vehicle/operator requirements when on roads open to large vehicles.
- Vehicle must be equipped with state approved muffler and/or speak arrester.
- Recreational riding within developed campgrounds is prohibited. OHV’s may only be to enter and leave campgrounds.
- Operating a vehicle in a manner which damages the land, wildlife, or vegetation is prohibited.
Remember to Tread Lightly! when riding on your public lands.
Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated roads and trails.
Respect the Rights of Others, including private property owners, all recreational trail users, campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.
Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies.
Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lake shores, wetlands and streams. Stay on designated routes.
Do Your Part by modeling appropriate behavior, leaving the area better than you found it.
