Basic OHV Laws and Rules

Maps & Trails

https://recreation.utah.gov/off-highway-vehicles/maps/

Utah has an estimated 80,000 miles of public trails designated for OHV use. It is your responsibility to know where you can legally ride before you go out on your adventure. Check with your local land managing agency for open trail use. Remember, ride on designated routes, all trails are considered closed unless posted open by a sign or map approved by the land managing agency.

Non-Resident Off-Highway Vehicle Permits

Street Legal Motorcycle

I have a street-legal motorcycle. Do I need a Utah non-resident OHV permit? If your street-legal motorcycle is registered and plated in your home state, then you do not need to purchase a Utah non-resident OHV permit. If a machine is plated and follows all of Utah’s street-legal requirements, then it is no longer considered an off-highway vehicle and is technically considered a “passenger vehicle” or, in this case, a street-legal motorcycle.
