Off Highway Vehicles (OHV)
The Black Hills offers over 3,800 miles of roads and trails for motorized vehicles. Over 700 miles of system trails are designated for Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) and available for riding with a valid Motorized Trail Permit.
The Motor Vehicle Use Map is the official map for designating all roads, trails and areas available for public motorized travel on the National Forest. Visitors should not rely on any other maps for making decisions about motorized travel.
The MVUM is available free to the public from local Forest Service offices, local vendors and/or online.
Visit the Off Highway Vehicle Information webpage for more information.
