Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV)
The Daniel Boone National Forest invites users to experience more than 150 miles of Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trails. Many of these trails are also open to horses, mountain bikes and hikers; caution and courtesy must be exercised. Some trails are multiple use, which means they are shared by two or more trail user groups such as hikers, horseback riders, mountain bikers and off-highway vehicles. OHV use is only allowed on designated trails. The Motor Vehicle Use Map for each district will illustrate where designated trails are located.
