Protect Oregon’s fragile ecosystem and only ride on designated trails to minimize impact to sensitive areas. Familiarize yourself with trail signs including the level of difficulty. Ride your ATV (with lights on at all times) on road open for public use. Always monitor your speed as you may encounter loggers, construction, or cattle! Wear bright clothing and know hunting schedules in your designated area. Do not purposefully harm or harass people, critters, or the natural terrain. And never litter. Be sure to wash your clothes and ATV after each ride to minimize the transport of weed or invasive plant infestation.
