From staff reports
Allegheny National Forest all-terrain vehicle and off-highway motorcycle (ATV/OHM) permits are now available. Permits are valid through the end of the calendar year.
The permit cost, mail-in forms, vendors and directions for electronic submissions can be found at fs.usda.gov/main/allegheny/passes-permits/recreation.
“We are hopeful that incoming weather conditions may allow us to open some trails for winter riding,” Ranger Rob Fallon said in a news release.
Winter use of the ATV/OHM trail system, he said, requires sustained cold temperatures that freeze the trail surface and push frost into the ground. “Until these conditions are met, trails will remain closed to ATV/OHM use,” Fallon said.
The Forest will issue a news release and post information on the public website and Facebook when ATV/OHM trail access changes.
