There's two ways to license your ATVOffroad = allows you to ride on approved trails, see ATV use map Buckhunter24 posted: https://www.fs.usda.gov/activity/okawen/recreation/ohv/?recid=57113&actid=93Onroad = allows you to ride on most county roads (in ATV friendly counties) that are 35MPH and under, most dirt roads and a lot of towns that are ATV friendly. Valid drivers license is required. ONroad requires tail light, headlight, mirrors, horn, maybe blinkers too, and you have to go to the dealer for an inspection and pay your $50 and you'll get an ONroad sticker. You can buy a kit to convert about any ATV to onroad, or dealers can do it for more $$FEDERAL lands do not recognize ATV's as highway use vehicles regardless of how they're licensed, so that makes a lot of confusion on where you can ride them on national forests, typically it isn't enforced, but you are still required to ride on approved ATV trails within national forest systems.
I had a game warden tell me specifically not to use my quad above pearrygin in national forestStreet legal or notI think it’s BS
Took my side by side over last year, but did a couple things first. I called the Tonasket Ranger station and talked to a nice fella. Told him where I was hunting and where I might be driving around and he told my I was fine in that area. I did take his name down just in case. Anyway, the particular trailhead for this are is now listed on their Travel Use map and states OK for side by side use. I took over again this spring for the weekend and saw plenty of side by sides out and about, almost a dozen of them at various areas around the forest. Mine is licensed and stickered for off road use, I'm not Street legal". I personally think it is a matter of time before they are listed as OK to ride as they become more popular. Then again, unless everyone starts getting "off road" and ripping up the forest then I see it going a completely different direction.My Ranger buddy I talked to told me there was one Ranger in that area who would write his own grandmother a ticket, just to make sure she knew he was in charge.

THIS is what really ticks me off. I see wayyyyyyy more off road damage by 4x4 vehicles and motorcycles than I do by ATV types. We get all the blame for every single action, yet other user groups can hit the berms, and mudholes and travel off road for all kinds of reasons willy nilly.
