ATV/OHV Trails

Motorized recreation is a popular activity within the woodlands of Becker County. Riders enjoy and utilize the extensive trail system for such things as site-seeing, berry picking, wildlife viewing, hunting and and numerous other purposes.

All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and other Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs) can utilize the many miles of state and county forest roads and trails within Becker County using the following guidelines:

State Lands - The three State Forests in Becker County (Smoky Hills, Two Inlets & White Earth) have been classified as "Limited" by the MN DNR. Under this classification, all state forest roads and minimum maintenance trails are open to motorized recreation. All other forest trails on state lands are considered "closed" to motorized recreation unless signed to allow motorized activities. The hunting/trapping exemption allows motorized access on "closed" trails during certain times of the year and under certain circumstances. Please see the MN-DNR website for more details on OHV riding in State Forests.

County Lands - County managed forest roads and trails are "open" to motorized recreation unless specifically closed through the use of berms, gates, or signs.
