North Divide Motorized Routes

The North Divide area consists of numerous four-wheel drive roads open to off-highway vehicles (OHVs), as well as the popular 717 Trail System (which is open to motor vehicles 50 inches, or less, in overall width). Be sure to consult with the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) for offical routes open to motorized vehicles. Free Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUMs) are available at your local Forest Service Ranger District office. Please pick up a MVUM before you head out. You can also view the MVUM here.

General Information

Do not ride around camping areas or parking areas on an OHV. Ride only to and from the trails to avoid conflict.

There is no fee to use this area, however a State of Colorado OHV Registration (or an OHV Permit) is required for all OHVs ($25.25 purchased through Colorado Parks & Wildlife).
