Vehicles may be operated anywhere within the posted boundaries of open areas. The majority of public lands in the CDD are designated limited use. In these areas, vehicle travel is limited to approved routes of travel. No cross-country vehicle travel is allowed. A route of travel is defined as any road or trail which is at least two feet wide and shows significant evidence of prior vehicle use.
Most closed areas are closed to motor vehicle use by the general public.
Hiking, bicycle riding, equestrian use, and other forms of non-motorized recreation may be permitted. A few closed areas are closed to all use. These areas are closed for safety reasons. These may include military bombing ranges. Contact the El Centro Field Office for more information.
