Oregon has a lot of designated lands to ride your ATV on and Cottage Grove is a great destination to make on your next ATV ride.
This ATV riding area is open from June through November of each year and is only closed when the trails are covered in so much snow it would make recreational riding treacherous. There are three trails in this area that are currently available for ATVing. The 4-mile Noonday Wagon Road #1405 is open for Class II recreational vehicles. Knott Trail #1417 is 3.9 miles and Bohemia National Recreation Trail is open only for Class III that applies to motorcycles. ATVs are not permitted on this trail except for turning around.
Umpqua National Forest Cottage Grove Ranger District manages this riding area and has some rules that need to be followed when riding on these federally managed lands. You must have a permit to ride on these lands. The State of Oregon requires that you register your ATV with the local bureau of motor vehicles, if you are not a resident of Oregon, be prepared to show either registration from your own state or proof of ownership of your ATV if your state doesn't require registration.
Because of the high incidence of forest fires during the dry season, all OHV vehicles must have a spark arrestor in place and a muffler that limits the noise of their ATV to 99 decibels or below.
This is a unspoiled and well maintained land to ride your ATV on, make sure that Cottage Grove is on your "must ride" list for your next ATV outing.
