If you are in the North Carolina area and you are looking for a new place to ride your ATV, the Cape Lookout National Seashore is a beautiful backdrop for an ATV ride. ATVs are allowed on the North and South Core banks as long as you remain within the Cape's boundaries.
All ATV riders are required to follow a set of rules designed to keep everyone safe as they enjoy the natural flora and fauna.
As of December 2005 a new set of rules and regulations have gone into affect in North Carolina. Here is a summary:
* All ATVs must have working brakes and muffler, with a United States Forest Service approved spark arrestor.
* All ATV riders must wear a helmet and goggles approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
* All ATVs ridden after dusk must have working head lamps and tail lights.
* Only one rider to an ATV unless there is an actual second seat provided by the manufacturer.
While you're at Cape Lookout, you might want to take advantage of other area amusements in this lovely seaside resort. The Cape Lookout Lighthouse is one of the area's greatest highlights. This working lighthouse has only recently been made available to the public.
Camping is allowed at certain designated areas at this riding location in case you'd like to make a long, fun day of riding last a whole weekend!
