One of the most frequented states in the New England area, Rhode Island contains hundreds of miles of beautiful coastal terrain, as well as forests and grassy areas.
There are many 4-wheeler riding opportunities in Rhode Island and you will have access to a wide selection of varied terrain to choose from. Whether you would prefer to ride your 4-wheeler along the coast and get a magnificent view of the beach and ocean or if you would prefer to get your tires muddy at one of the State's many densely forested 4-wheeler trails, Rhode Island has something for everyone.
In order to ride your 4-wheeler in Rhode Island, you must be registered with the State's Recreation Management Agency if you are a resident; non-residents must show proof of registration in their home state in order to ride on federally managed lands such as national forest managed 4-wheeler trails. Registration requires a small fee, but it is definitely worth it to ride your 4-wheeler in the area. You must wear a proper 4-wheeler safety helmet while you ride in Rhode Island, and you must have reflective material on each side of your 4-wheeler that is exactly 16 square inches.
A motor vehicle operator's license is required for 4-wheeler riders aged 16 to 18 in order to cross highways. The minimum age requirement for riding a 4-wheeler in Rhode Island is 16 with supervision, though children 12 and up can ride on certain public lands. A safety certificate is not required to ride in the state, but as stated before, all children must be supervised. Have fun riding your 4-wheeler in Rhode Island.
