Operator’s Code of ATV Riding

(Riders’ Etiquette)

• We strive to lead by example by being good and responsible ATV operators. We recognize that people will judge all ATV owners by our own actions - every rider does make a difference.  We will use our influence with other ATV riders to promote responsible, sportsmanlike conduct;
• We strive to stay on trails and not tear up sides of trails and hills, to not litter trails, or pollute streams or lakes, etc., being respectful to the environment, i.e. “treading lightly” in our travels;
• We strive to respect property owner’s rights and to not be an annoyance to local residents;
• We strive to not interfere with or harass hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, fishermen, hunters, skiers, etc.;
• We strive to not harass or harm wildlife in our travels;
• We strive to ride only in authorized areas when traveling cross-country.
