Basic Riding Rules On All Nebraska National Forest Lands

Use of a US Forest Service approved exhaust is required.  No altered stock exhausts are allowed, and no loud aftermarket exhausts with or with out spark arresters are allowed.  U.S. Forest Service noise limit is 96 decibels tested at 20" from exhausts for all ATVs and dirtbikes.  All stock exhausts in good working order that have not been altered and a few after market exhausts meet this sound rating. 

Do not make new trails and stay on existing marked trails.  While on trails, yield to the right to on coming traffic.

All riders must be 16 years of age with valid drivers license or be under the direct supervision of responsible adult. Safety gear like good helmet, goggles, over ankle boots, etc., are highly recommended for you and your families protection. Please, only one person per ATV.

Many horses can be startled by ATVs and dirtbikes on the trails and this could cause injury to those on the horse and to ATV and dirtbike riders as well.  When people riding horses are encountered in trails or roads, pull over, shut off your engine and allow them to pass. Close all gates that you open.

All ATV and dirtbike riders are required to ride responsibly and have their machines under control at all times.   While riding on all trails, stay right to on coming traffic.  When approaching other trail users, slow down.  Consider wearing a helmet and other safety gear.
