RECREATION GRANTS

Off-Highway Vehicle Program

If you ride dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles you know that an off-highway vehicle is a great way to spend time outdoors. The Off-Highway Vehicle Program (OHV) provides grant funding for safety and ethics education as well as projects that enhance and maintain OHV recreational areas for enthusiasts to enjoy responsibly.

Montana State Parks administers the OHV program with funds appropriated by the state legislature. The program includes: the OHV grant program, safety education and an OHV ethics education program.

OHV grant program projects can include; maintenance of existing OHV trails, signs, ethics education, noxious weed control, and route mapping.

The OHV Advisory Committee, comprised of OHV users and land managers, advises Montana State Parks on the expenditure of grant funds.

An OHV is a self-propelled vehicle used on public lands, trails, easements, lakes, rivers or streams and generally includes off-highway motorcycles, ATVs (quadri-cycles), air cushion vehicles, amphibious vehicles, and dune buggies. (4 x 4 trucks licensed for road use and vessels registered as boats are not considered OHVs.)
