Otter Trail is the perfect place to go ATVing. This is just one of the trails in the vast forests of Washington and Jefferson National Forests.
As with all National Forests, make sure you have your ATV permit displayed in a clearly visible location and also make sure that you have your spark arrestor and muffler installed prior to riding these lands.
Otter ATV trail is part of a looping network all connected by 19 miles of trails designed specifically for ATVers. There are other types of traffic on these trails as well, including hikers, mountain bikers and motorcycle riders.
If you happen to be riding your ATV in the early morning or early evening hours, your chances of seeing some of the local wildlife citizens is high.
Hunting is permitted in these areas, so before venturing out, make sure you check to see what time of year it is, as far as this sport is concerned. If you decide to ride your ATV during this time,for your protection, wear the color orange and carry a whistle with you.
Otter ATV trail is an easy trail system to navigate on your ATV and is a great area for letting newer ATV users ride and hone their technical skills for navigating their ATVs. There are few hills and no really steep inclines so newer ATV riders can concentrate on proper handling of their ATVs which will build their confidence and a confident driver is a safer driver.
Additionally, Otter ATV trails are clearly marked and easy for a beginning ATV rider to follow, as with all National Forest managed lands, help preserve them by following the standards set forth by Treadlightly and help keep your favorite ATV trails open and ready for riding!
