Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV)
An off-highway vehicle (OHV) is a motor vehicle capable of off-highway travel during winter or summer. OHV’s include all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s), four-wheelers, three-wheelers, dirt bikes, motorcycles, trail bikes, and snowmobiles.
Not all roads and trails are created equally. Some roads are for cars and trucks, but not off-highway vehicles. Some trails are for off-highway vehicles, but many are not. Know where you are going and under the use of the road or trail before you go.
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.
