ATV/OHV

All Terrain Vehicles (ATV) and Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) use are not permitted at any Maricopa County Park. Trails are designated for non-motorized use only. Use is limited to pedestrians, bicycles, and horses only.

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Driving off-road vehicles on dirt and unpaved roads can stir up particulate matter which pollutes the air. New rules and ordinances are currently being adopted and enforced by cities and towns throughout Maricopa County. It is recommended that you visit either the Maricopa County Air Quality Department's Web site or local city site prior to venturing out on your next ATV or OHV excursion.
