Tread Lightly When Using An ATV

ATV riders get a bad rap. A few bad apples who have a flagrant disregard for the integrity of the ATV trails, other people's private property, and basic common sense, like don't leave your trash strewn all over the woods, has led to some trails being closed to ATV riders.

In an effort to keep the ATV riding trails open and to show that most ATV owners are responsible folks who just like the thrill of the ride, a great Organization was formed to form a standard of conduct on off highway trails and roads.

Treadlightly advocates responsible ATV riding and such standards as :
- if you bring it in with you, bring it out.
- do not attempt to navigate your ATV across muddy trails
- try to cross rivers with your ATV at the narrowest point
- no trailblazing on your ATV.
- respect other's private property

They also advocate safety classes and other continuing education for ATV riders. The more education your are about your ATV and how it affects the environment, the better of an ATV rider you can be.

If you follow the standards set by Treadlightly, you will join the ranks of responsible ATV riders everywher and help preserve the trails and lands for generations to come to enjoy on their ATVs.
