Laws / Safety
California offers some of the greatest off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation opportunities in the nation. The SVRAs, Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service, local city and counties, and private partners offer an extraordinary amount of diverse and remarkable terrain for recreationists to explore.
Of course with the opportunity and privilege to recreate, comes the responsibility to protect those opportunities for yourself and others. Know the California rules and regulations for operating your OHV responsibly and safely.
