Off highway motor vehicles (OHV) are vehicles that are not intended to be driven or moved on a public highway. However, if specifications are met, vehicles not intended for highway use may qualify for registration plates and may be operated on certain roads in Tennessee. OHV Registration Info
https://www.tn.gov/revenue/title-and-registration/vehicle-registration/off-highway-vehicles.htmlMinnesota Statute 84.928 outlines where and how all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can be legally operated, with a strong focus on safety, roadway use, and responsible riding practices. For riders, parents, and educators, this statute serves as a critical reference point—clarifying when ATVs can use public road rights-of-way, how crossings must be performed, and the limitations designed to reduce risk and protect both riders and the public. By understanding these rules, the Ride Safe community can promote safer riding habits and ensure compliance with state regulations.

Minnesota state forests have been classified into three categories for off‑highway vehicle and motor vehicle use: Managed, Limited, and Closed. For more information about these classifications and individual forest information, please visit: mndnr gov/state_forests.
Most state forests are made up of a combination of state, county, federally, and privately owned lands, but are not signed or identified as such in the field.
• County and federal lands have their own rules for use
• You must have the landowner’s permission to enter privately owned land, and trespass laws apply
• Many grant‑in‑aid trails (identified by signs) cross private lands and are closed to other uses
• Tribal lands in state forests are always closed to non‑band members
