Idaho Motorized Trail Maps

The Motorized Trails Program was created in 1970 to ensure quality motorized recreational opportunities remain available by providing for maintenance, education, and enforcement partnerships.

The Motorized Trails Program mission is to provide leadership statewide in the area of OHV recreation; to work with land managers to provide maintenance on designated trails, develop new opportunities, provide safety and education classes, and provide comments on all motorized travel planning within Idaho through the use of designated funding.

The Motorized Trails Program’s summer activities consist of the following:

  • Working with land managers to provide maintenance on designated OHV trails through the Trail Ranger and Trail Cat programs
  • Providing OHV education opportunities
  • Partnering with OHV law enforcement programs
  • Participating in statewide travel planning
  • Working with OHV clubs and organizations to fulfill OHV trails maintenance contracts

Motorized Trails Program Funding

  • OHV Certificate of Number fees
  • OHV percentage of State gas tax
  • Federal Recreation Trails gas tax fees

The Idaho ATV/Motorbike (Motorized Trails) program is funded through certificate of number fees purchased by the enthusiast.

Minnesota OHV Licenses, Permits, and Regulations

OHVs used in Minnesota must be registered with the DNR or the operator must possess a trail pass if operating on state and grant-in-aid trails. Fees collected from registrations and trail passes go directly into the OHV accounts to support new trails, OHV safety and education and management and maintenance of existing trails.

ATV/UTV Think Smart Before You Start
One of the most common violations observed by law enforcement officers during the campaign was improper helmet and no helmet for riders and passengers under the age of 18. Everyone should wear a helmet whether required by law or not. Remember to Wear it, Wisconsin!
  • All ATV/UTV operators and passengers under the age of 18 are required to wear a minimum DOT standard ATV or motorcycle helmet with the chin strap properly fastened.
  • Bicycle helmets do not meet this requirement.
  • All UTV passengers must have their seatbelts always fastened.
One of the best things ATV and UTV operators can do to operate safely is to take an online safety course. A list of approved safety education classes is available on the DNR Safety Education webpage. Wisconsin law requires every operator involved in a crash incident to report the incident without delay to law enforcement officials. In addition, within 10 days of the incident, the operator must submit a written report to the DNR. For more information on ATV and UTV recreation in Wisconsin, visit the DNR’s ATV/UTV riding in Wisconsin webpage. https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/newsroom/release/61966

Minnesota 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.

A Minnesota OHV Trail Atlas Will Help Clarify Riding in a Minnesota State Forest

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
