Ride Right - Ride Safe

Accessing Private Land Public Access to Private Land is A Privilege, Not A Right

Landowners who permit you to use their land for outdoor recreational activities are not only doing you a favor, they place their trust in you. To demonstrate appreciation for the favor and to prove their trust is not misplaced:

  • Ask for permission first
  • Respect any and all special requests made by the landowner.
  • Understand clearly where you can and cannot drive or park your vehicle and abide by those restrictions.
  • If requested, provide the landowner, your name, address, phone number and vehicle description.
  • Consider using pre-printed Landowner/Land user Courtesy Cards.
  • Know the property boundaries of the land you have permission to use and stay within those boundaries.
  • Railroad and utility corridors are not public rights of way and require permission for access.
  • Always OBEY THE LAW.
