Many of the trails in The Natural State are multiple-use, so those on ATVs should watch for horseback riders, hikers, and mountain bikers. Many trails are marked with color-coded shapes, and maps are available by contacting the applicable ranger districts. ATVs are allowed only on designated trails and certain open forest roads that are not blocked by a mound, gate or other closure device, and state law requires that vehicles are registered and are equipped with mufflers and spark arresters. During hunting season, riders are encouraged to wear safety orange on most trails.
