People from all over the world come to Vermont to ski and snowmobile in the winter, but not many folks annually embrace the state's many splendid ATV trails and riding areas. Vermont is home to a varied amount of beautiful terrain, from thick lush forests and bright green grass to breathtaking mountain views. Due to this varied terrain, ATV enthusiasts have a large variety of ATV trails to choose from while in Vermont, and there are trails available for those of all skill levels, from beginning riders to more experienced ones. In Vermont, you could ride your ATV on the rocky terrain of a mountain and then brush through a nice muddy forest trail all in one day. This great variety is what makes Vermont such a great place to ride an ATV, and the state is sure to have something to offer to just about every ATV enthusiast.
To ride your ATV in Vermont, you must register it with the state's Motor Vehicle Registration Agency, which requires a small fee. However, you only need to register your ATV if you will be riding on public land. Vermont does not require you to be registered on private land, so if you know someone who has some ATV friendly private property you won't have to pay the fee. The minimum legal ATV riding age in Vermont is 12 years old. All persons under the age of 18 who are riding an ATV in Vermont must have a safety certificate and must be supervised at all times.
