Three ORVs riding the trail

Set your sights on ORV riding all year long

Think of your ORV license and trail permit as your backstage pass to 3,800 miles of off-road trails, thousands of miles of state forest roads open to ORVs and the state’s five scramble areas. 

ORV riding often means riding the route less traveled. Whether you want to rev it up, go the distance or share these outdoor spaces with your friends and family, it's time to set your sights on riding this season.

ORV license and trail permits are valid for one year, which begins April 1 and ends March 31 of the following year.
