Hunting and OHVs

    Don't hunt from OHVs - weapons must remain unloaded while riding to and from hunting areas; you cannot hunt from your OHV, park and walk away before beginning your hunt.
    Stay on trails - OHVs are only a means of getting to and from hunting areas; don't use OHVs to retrieve game, instead, bring game to the trail before using OHVs to transport.

    Protect your privilege.  Hunting and OHVs can mix; it's up to you to ride responsibly.

    OHVs are a convenient form of transportation to hunting areas. However, it is vital for sportsmen and women to know and obey OHV laws and rules for their own safety, the safety of others, and for the protection of big game and critical wildlife habitat.

Featured Event

Bison Round Up at Antelope Island

    The 'Wild West' returns to Antelope Island State Park!  Join us for the 23rd Annual Bison Roundup, October 31 and November 1, 2009.  Volunteer wranglers will saddle-up and move the park's herd of 600 free-roaming bison from the southern tip of the Island to the bison corrals on the northern end of the island.
    Then, from November 6 to 8, watch as veterinarians and state park personnel weigh, vaccinate and conduct various health tests on each bison to determine the herd's health.

    All events are open to the public.  Park visitors are welcome to come out and watch as we bring in the herd.  See these wild bison up close as they rest comfortably in our bison corrals.

Online Youth Education Courses

    Utah law requires that youth take our one-time safety course before operating an off-highway vehicle (OHV) or a personal watercraft (PWC). 
    The OHV Education Program covers ATVs, off-highway motorcycles and side-by-side ATVs (called Type II ATVs which include UTVs and dune buggy type machines).
    The PWC Education Program covers Jet Ski® and Sea-Doo® type vessels.

    Your safety is our number one concern!
