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
