They don't need to look at it for a spark arrester or anything? And is that all you have to do to ride these roads? Thanks for the info. Sorry to jack the thread. |

yep that's it. just make sure you don't get caught without a sparky on the trail. also c-money i got nailed on lake chelan with my little one riding in front of me on a jetski. the sheriff told me my kid had to be behind the operator? don't know if it's the same on land, but i assume so? |

It depends on where these "green dot" roads are. Is this on National Forest, or is it on WDFW land? If it's on National Forest it's probably not legal to ride an ATV there at all. If you're talking about WDFW land, then it might be legal, if it isn't posted otherwise. I don't know of any law about riding double. Although every 4 wheeler I've ever seen will say right on it that it is NOT meant to carry passengers. |

You can ride on all the Green Dot roads and trails unless it is posted closed or is a trail being groomed for snowmobiles. Green dot roads are a cooperative road management program between public land management agencies and private landowners. In the Green Dot Road Management System all roads in an area are closed unless posted open with a green dot. Roads identified as “green dot roads” on green dot maps and posted with a round green reflector on white markers are open to public motor vehicles. Green dot maps of most areas are free and available at WDFW and DNR offices. Some maps and agreements are being reformatted due to current land exchanges and are out of print right now. Except for roads open by green dot designation, all roads and trails are closed to all wheeled motor vehicles including ATVs. Violators will be subject to prosecution pursuant to W.A.C. 232.12.187. Closing sensitive areas helps protect fish from sediment running off of roads, migratory routes of big game, wildlife habitat, and timber and road resources while allowing for safe and fun recreation opportunities. The green dot roads are meant to remain at a net amount of miles, so when one section is removed from the management agreement, another may be added of equal length. Roads designated as green dot can change as harvest or sites are identified which may need protection or rehabilitation. We appreciate help from users in maintaining and educating about our green dot system! Information about Forest Service Roads in the Wentachee Forest you have to look at each district to find out about the one you are riding in. Where can I ride an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV), All Terain Vehicle (ATV), or Over-Snow Vehicle (OSV)? OHV recreation is just one of the many uses allowed on National Forest lands. OHV travel is restricted to designated routes. Many routes are open and accessible to those who enjoy recreating on OHVs. It is your responsibility to know and abide by regulations relating to motor vehicle travel. State law requires registration of all motor vehicles before being operated on public lands. You must have either a current Green Sticker or Highway license, both issued by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. If highway licensed, the vehicle must meet all standards for operating on a public highway. Many areas are open and accessible to those who enjoy recreating on ATVs and OSVs during the winter months. Motorized over-snow travel is prohibited in some areas. Federal law (36 CFR 261.16(a)) prohibits operation of any mechanical or motorized equipment within the boundaries of a Wilderness |
