Mind the Widths!

Different trails are designed for different types of OHVs. Often the width of the trail contributes to the challenge of riding it. For example, dirt bike enthusiasts prefer tight single track trails to double track trails because they are more challenging. By only riding your vehicle on trails wider than your vehicle, you preserve the challenge and difficulty of trails for future riders.

A relatively new development is the side-by-side OHV. This vehicle looks like an ATV, but accomodates two riders sitting side by side. These vehicles are wider than a normal ATV and are also too wide for standard ATV trails. If driving a side-by-side, make sure to only ride on trails wider than your vehicle such as routes open to full-size four wheel drive vehicles.

• Drive on designated motorized routes where such designations have been made.
• Where no designations have been made, drive only on existing routes until designations are made.
