Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV)

Off-highway vehicle recreation, including all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles, is just one of the many uses allowed on National Forest lands. However, federal law prohibits operation of any mechanical or motorized equipment within the boundaries of a Wilderness or other special closure areas.

OHV Trail Riding

All vehicles operated on national forest system roads must be street legal in accordance with Washington State laws, be registered and have license plates, insurance, turn signals, taillights and headlights. Off-road vehicles such as quads, dirt bikes, three-wheelers, tracked vehicles or snowmobiles are not considered street-legal. The Forest Service Code of Federal Regulations prohibits off-road vehicles on national forest system roads, through the forest, or from damaging vegetation. Violators can fined be up to $5,000 and sentenced up to six months in jail and held liable for any damages caused to vegetation, roads, trails and any other property.
