Can I ride my ATV in the National Forest? Where are the best ATV riding areas on the Pikes Peak Ranger District?
You must adhere to all posted and published travel management regulations. All of the County Roads prohibit ATVs or motorized vehicles that dont have a license plate. All of the main Forest Roads (Rds), generally those passable by cars and low clearance vehicles are closed to ATVs and motorized vehicles that do not have license plates. Some of those roads include, Old Stage Forest Development Rd (FDR) 368, Gold Camp FDR 370, High Drive FDR 380, Mount Herman FDR 320, Rampart Range FDR 300, Rampart Recreation Area FDR 306, Crags-Fourmile Creek FDR 350, Seven Lakes FDR 376, and Rainbow Falls FDR 350. As a general rule, most of the 4-wheel High Clearance Roads are open to ATVs. You can call with specific questions. To answer your second question, the best place for riding your ATV is Trail System 717 north of Divide, Colorado. Keep in mind that there are several County Roads in the area that are closed.
