Off Highway Vehicles (OHV)

The White River National Forest's motorized trails are managed for 'summer' and 'winter/over snow' use:

Summer travel: May 21- Nov. 22 
Winter travel: Nov. 23- May 20

Motor Vehicle Use Maps show all motorized roads and trails. These maps show when routes are open and what types of vehicles may use each route.

  • Other than winter snowmobile use, motor vehicle travel is allowed only on designated trails and roads. Off-road/trail travel is prohibited.
  • Federal law prohibits operation of any mechanical or motorized equipment within the boundaries of a Wilderness or other special closure areas.
  • All OHV vehicles and over-snow vehicles must have a current state registration. Visit Colorado Parks and Wildlife to register your vehicle.
