There are several designated off-road riding areas
designed for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles around Lake Tahoe. Whatever area you
choose, enjoy the ride knowing you are free to escape and explore without
getting hassled.
All California riding areas require an OHMVR sticker and
spark arresting silencer or end cap on the exhaust.
