OHV is a general term describing all motorized and mechanical vehicles capable of off-highway travel during the summer and winter months. Using an OHV can be an exciting and enjoyable experience on the Pike National Forest
In order to use an OHV on National Forest land, it must be equipped with operating brakes, a muffler, and a spark arrestor. Between sunset and sunrise all OHV's must operate a headlight and taillight.
Forest roads marked with horizontal numbers indicate roads that are open only to vehicles that have a valid state license plate. Roads that are marked with vertically stacked numbers are generally suited to high-clearance vehicles and/or ATV's. All Forest Service roads and trails that are open to motorized vehicles are signed on the ground with white arrows. Motorized trails are open to motorcycles, dirt bikes, and ATV's less than 48" wide. The South Park District also has two areas with designated motorized trails. These are Hackett Mountain and Four Mile. Please ask at the South Park District Office for more detailed information on these areas.
Registration of OHVs is required in order to ride on the National Forest road and trail system. Contact the Colorado State Parks at (719) 471-0900 for information on registration.
Please remember a few facts and basic ethics when four-wheeling.
-
Operators of OHV's must STOP when requested by a Forest Service Officer.
-
Keep your vehicle on existing roads and trails that have a white arrow or one or more of these signs.
-
 
Â
-
Watch for signs closing a particular road or trail to motor vehicles.
