About New Hampshire

Granite underfoot, hardwoods overhead, and one of the better-organized OHRV (Off-Highway Recreational Vehicle) trail networks in New England, that's New Hampshire's pitch to off-road riders. The trails run from the Great North Woods down through the foothills around the White Mountains, and the state keeps them maintained well enough that ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes can string together real mileage. Some routes are all challenge; others are built for the overlooks.

The riding itself is classic New England: hardwood forest, riverside stretches, rock ledge where the granite breaks through. Elevation swings test both rider and machine, particularly around the Monadnock area and the edges of the Lakes Region. State agencies manage some trails, but local clubs maintain many of them, and that club culture is half of what makes riding here work. Volunteer labor keeps the trails in shape and, just as important, keeps landowners willing to host them.

The price of admission is playing by the state's rules, which lean hard on safety and land stewardship. Registration doubles as your trail access, and the emphasis on responsible riding is what keeps private landowners in the system. Come for a day loop through the hills or link trail systems into a multi-day run, either way, New Hampshire delivers the New England backwoods with the access already sorted.

  • OHRV Registration

    All Off-Highway Recreational Vehicles (OHRVs) must be registered with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department before operating on any public land or designated OHRV trail. This applies to both residents and non-residents.

  • OHRV Safety Education

    Operators aged 12 and older must possess a valid OHRV Safety Certificate to operate an OHRV on public property or trails. Exceptions apply for those holding a valid driver's license or operating on their own property.

  • Helmet Requirement

    All OHRV operators and passengers under 18 years of age are required to wear a DOT-approved helmet. While not legally mandated for adults, wearing a helmet is strongly recommended for all riders for safety.

01Do I need a special license to ride an OHRV in New Hampshire?
Not a license as such, but operators aged 12 and older need an OHRV Safety Certificate to ride public lands and trails, unless they hold a valid motor vehicle operator's license. And every OHRV must be registered with the state.
02Are there age restrictions for OHRV operators?
Yes. Riders under 14 must be accompanied at all times by a licensed adult at least 18 years old whenever they ride land they don't own, public trails included, not just family property. From age 12 up, an OHRV Safety Certificate (or a valid driver's license) is generally the ticket onto public trails.
03Can I ride my OHRV on any road in New Hampshire?
No. OHRVs stay off public roads except where a road is specifically designated OHRV-accessible or at designated crossing points. Local ordinances and trail maps show where road access is actually approved.
04What kind of terrain can I expect on New Hampshire's OHRV trails?
Rock, roots, gravel roads, and dirt trails through dense forest, with real elevation change once you get into the northern and mountainous regions. It's varied enough to keep any rider working.
05Are there noise restrictions for OHRVs?
Yes. The state sets sound emission limits to keep the peace with wildlife and neighbors, and every machine needs a functioning spark arrestor as well. Run out of compliance and the fines are real, as is the risk to trail access.
06Where can I find maps of OHRV trails?
Start with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department website; OHRV registration agents and local clubs carry maps too. Use a current edition and pair it with real-time trail condition reports, last year's map won't show this spring's closures.
