The maps indicate trailheads, groomed trails and open play areas. Information about snowmobile laws, safety tips and closest services to trailheads also is included. OHV Laws and Rules Utah State Parks and Recreation, in cooperation with other state, federal and private land management agencies, administers Utah off-highway vehicle laws. Currently registered OHVs may be operated on public lands, streets or highways that are signed or designated as open on OHV use. Most inner-park roads are public highways.
State law requires that motorized vehicles and operators using public highways be licensed.
The Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Utah State Parks and Recreation have travel maps showing public lands where OHV use is permitted. For safety reasons, state law requires that persons 17 years of age and under wear protective headgear while operating an OHV on public lands or roads. It is recommended that all riders, no matter what their ages, wear protective headgear. Copies are available at all state parks, region offices and the administrative office in Salt Lake City. No one under eight years of age may operate an OHV on public lands.
