Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR)

Welcome to the world of California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation! California manages the largest Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Division in the nation while working hand in hand with our local, state, and federal partners to offer diverse recreational opportunities state wide.

Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation is a great way to explore all that California has to offer while allowing you to spend quality time with friends and family. Motorized recreation allows for everyone to enjoy the outdoors while encouraging healthy physical activity. 

Whether you enjoy traveling on two wheels, four wheels, or by foot we all share a common interest, protecting California’s remarkable natural and cultural resources and love of the outdoors.
