Before riding your UTV, Educate Yourself! Obtain a map (motor vehicle use map) of your destination and determine which areas are open to UTVs. Respected Access is Open Access! By practicing responsible outdoor recreation, we can keep our favorite areas open to the public. By treating land access with respect, we can help keep our favorite trails, parks and forests open, healthy and beautiful. So get out and enjoy yourself with us responsibly! Learn more about Motorized Vehicle Use Rules and Regulations.
Please note that Georgia House Bill 121 does not allow MPOHVs, low speed vehicles, and motorized carts to be driven on Forest Service Roads on the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 40-6-362) restricts operation of multipurpose off-highway vehicles to highways that are part of a county road system. To be legal for use on Forest Service Roads, vehicles must be licensed under State law for general operation on ALL public roads within the State. Forest Service roads are not considered county roads.
