Are ATVs/Quads allowed on ORV trails or forest roads in Washington?
In general, many of the off-road motorized use trails in Washington accommodate both motorcycles and ATVs/Quads. Many areas include wider trails for both and narrow trails that are just for motorcycles. To ride any off road vehicle on forest roads in Washington, both the rider and the vehicle must be licensed for street use. Additionally, most NMA poker runs around the state let ATVs/Quads participate. Some of those events also have ‘hard’ or ‘expert’ routes that are narrow, single-track trails where ATVs would be too wide. For more information, consider contacting the local Forest Service or agency responsible for the trails you’re interested in.
