Where to Ride?

Oregon is comprised of more than 60% public lands with a vast diversity of lands to ride on. Some of the “designated riding areas” provide a high-level of trail maintenance, signs, maps and staging area facilities. While there are other areas open to ATV use, they may offer a lower-level of service providing opportunities for exploration and solitude.

Oregon has over 50 designated riding areas. Visit our Online Map for more information. Most of these areas receive regular funding from fuel taxes and ATV sticker sales. Most areas have maps you can access online and sometimes save them as a PDF file that you can use on your cell phone without service.

Here are some of the main riding areas in Oregon:

Central Oregon has over 1,000 miles of trails that are mapped and groomed for ATV use, mostly in the Millican and East Fort Rock. This is high desert which allows for year-round riding. In the summer months the East Fort Rock area is in a ponderosa forest providing more shade. In the winter the Millican can be free from snow much of the year.
Tillamook State Forest – In the Oregon Coast range has about 250 miles of trails and many more miles of gravel roads. The Browns Camp area is more family friendly. Other areas have Black Diamond motorcycle trails and some extreme 4wd rock crawl areas.
Oregon Dunes has over 7,500 acres of dunes open to ATV use from Sand Land in the Tillamook area down the coast to the Florence and Coos Bay areas. There are many ATV rental agencies all along the coast.
Morrow County has purchased 8,000 acres of land with ATV Grant dollars and manages the area specifically for ATV recreation. Although a bit off the freeway, it offers full hook up camping sites, day use parking and over 200 miles of trails.

Know Before You Go

Types of ATVs
Safety Training Requirements
Class I and III ATVs are required to have United States Forest Service approved spark arrestors or end caps. Most mufflers or end caps will be stamped “USFS Approved Spark Arrestor” if it meets the requirement.
The U.S. Forest Service is currently designating trails, roads, and open areas for ATV riding. Once the planning process is complete, the managing agency will print maps showing the designated roads, trails and open areas. It is the responsibility of everyone who operates an off-highway vehicle to know the rules and regulations for their chosen riding area before hitting the trail.
An ATV/OHV operating permit that is issued in another state shall be honored in the State of Oregon if the issuing state also honors an Oregon ATV operating permit. Regardless of the class of ATV, an operator must have a resident state ATV/OHV operating permit or a State of Oregon ATV operating permit to operate the ATV on public lands in Oregon. An Oregon ATV Operating Permit may be issued to any class ATV owned by a resident of another state. For a list of states that have reciprocity with Oregon, please visit the ATV Permits page.
Some vehicles such as ATVs and side-by-sides are never street legal in Oregon even if licensed and plated in their home state. These vehicles must have a valid OHV registration or permit to be used on trails on public lands in Oregon.
