Home MenuATV/Off-Highway Vehicle Usage
Off-highway vehicle (OHV) use can be a safe, enjoyable, low-impact activity when users follow the laws, stay on open or designated roads and trails, and ride safely and responsibly. The opposite is true when ATV/OHV users lack respect for the environment, other recreationists, and overall safety. The following information outlines safe, legal, and common sense approaches to ATV/OHV activities to help promote responsible OHV use and protect your privilege to ride.
In an effort to educate and support ATV/OHV use in the state of Arizona, please refer to the attached materials/links for latest in OHV rules, regulations, and obligations necessary for safe, ethical, and responsible ATV/OHV use. Topics include:
- Where to Ride
