Summertime is here; at least that’s what the calendar is showing. Folks are gearing up for their summertime camping trips and adventures in the woods. For some that includes motorized recreation such as riding ATVs, or motorcycles, generally referred to as Off Highway Vehicles. Some rules have changed that regulate the use of OHVs on public lands, and I’ll attempt to cover those in this column so riders can have a better understanding. OHV use in Idaho had grown exponentially over the past 20 years; subsequently the regulations are becoming more detailed and change often. An astonishing 81,000 OHVs were registered in Idaho last year compared to a little over 6,000 in 1988. With such a quick growth in popularity of off road vehicles, conflict has resulted among user groups, especially those who prefer to travel without motors. The evolving rules are geared toward minimizing conflict and encouraging safety. |

LEWISTON, Idaho, June 9 -- The Idaho Fish and Game Commission issued the following news release: Mud-bogging, the ritual of driving off-road vehicles through wet areas, is creating big problems on the Craig Mountain Wildlife Management Area south of Lewiston. Idaho Fish and Game officials are struggling to combat damage caused by drivers of 4-wheel drive trucks and ATVs who illegally off-road through wet meadows and streams causing long-term damage. "These areas are especially vulnerable, yet are the most appealing to mud boggers because of the water and moist ground," said Rick Cooper, conservation officer for Fish and Game. |

Chad Dryden An ordinance banning all-terrain vehicles on city streets was adopted by Boise City Council Tuesday night. The city drafted the ordinance in response to a 2008 amendment to the state code allowing ATVs on all roads except controlled access highways. The amendment authorized municipalities to draft their own laws governing ATV use on public streets. |

Deanna Darr Once upon a time, motorbikes gave people relatively inexpensive conveyance along the backcountry trails. Then, the almighty all-terrain vehicle offered those without the strength and balance to ride a motorbike an easy way to get to areas they would never have been able to reach the traditional way—on foot. Now, utility terrain vehicles (a kind of ATV on steroids) are allowing even more people to go even further into places once reserved for those with the perseverance to get there. |
