If you’re new to using your ATV or are thinking about getting one, they can be lots of fun and have a variety of uses including trail riding and hunting.

ATV stands for “All Terrain Vehicle” and UTV stands for “Utility Terrain Vehicle”. They’re also known as a “quad” or “quad bike”.

An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a vehicle that travels on low pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control. As the name implies, it is designed to handle a wider variety of terrain than most other vehicles. (Source: Wikipedia)

Manufacturers of ATVs include:

• Arctic Cat
• Bombardier
• Honda
• Kawasaki
• KTM
• Polaris
• Suzuki
• Yamaha

ATV / UTV Trail Riding

Trail riding is one of the purest forms of ATV fun. There are thousands of miles of trails across the country, as well as OHV parks designed for ATV and UTV pleasure riding. People also trail ride on their farm or own property. Trail riding with family and friends can increase overall ATV enjoyment. ATV trail riding adventures let you touch, see and really experience the outdoors. There are better things to do than sit inside and watch TV – so get outside and have fun before summer is over.
