Designated Areas

State Parks has consulted with the land/resource managers in the state to provide information about designated riding areas. All the listed areas have received funding from the Statewide OHV Program to develop trails and facilities. The listed sites do not represent all of the available opportunities in Arizona. Where ever you choose to recreate, be sure the roads, trails or areas are designated for your type of use.

What does “designated” mean? The federal land managers in Arizona (Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management*) have established criteria that identifies roads, trails and (open) areas that can be used for OHV recreation. Designated roads, trails, or areas will be marked with a route/trail number and appear on a map available from the land managers travel on other than designated routes, trails, or areas is illegal and fines may be assessed. Riding off of designated roads, trails, or areas can cause the designated roads, trails, and areas to be closed.

*National Park service does not generally provide or support the use of unlicensed OHV’s within their parks.
