Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation, including ATV and motorcycle use, is just one of the many uses allowed on National Forest lands. It is your responsibility to know and abide by regulations relating to motor vehicle travel (MVUM). Federal law prohibits operation of any mechanical or motorized equipment within the boundaries of a Wilderness or other special closure areas.
