ICV ATV Club


Club/Trail Rules



We are a private, non-profit Club. Most of our trails are on private property leased from local landowners, which we must respect. Follow and enforce these rules so we may all continue to ride!





Safety





  • All riders must wear a DOT approved helmets at all times.
  • No alcohol is permitted anywhere at ICV ATV Club.
  • Riders under age 16 must be under the direct supervision and within eyesight of a parent or guardian at all times.
  • Except where marked, all trails are 2-way. Adjust speed accordingly. Stay on the trail, or stay home! Cutting corners and driving off trails degrades the trail system.
  • There is no night riding except during scheduled events.
  • There is no overnight camping on trails or in the parking area.


state Law





  • Pennsylvania requires all ATVs and UTVs to be registered.
  • All ATVs, UTVs and dirt bikes must be insured.
  • Insurance and registration must be carried with you at all times.


Guest PASSENGERS





  • Guest rides are an opportunity to bring a guest as a passenger on your machine (which must be rated for two or more people).
  • Guests must sign a waiver before riding. If no staff is in the office, waivers are located in the kiosk outside the office.
  • If your “guest’ wishes to ride their own machine, he/she must become a Club member per current policy and rates.


ATV, UTV AND MOTORCYCLE REQUIREMENTS





  • All machines must be insured.
  • Every ATV, UTV, and SxS must display a current state-issued registration plate and/or sticker.
  • The annual ICV ATV Club tag shall be displayed on all members' machines at all times. No Exceptions.
  • Affix the ICV ATV Club tag to ensure it is clearly visible to approaching riders.
    • ATVs and dirt bikes: Tag should be located on the handle bars.
    • Side-by-sides: Tag should be on the roll bar, or taped to the windshield.


PARKING





  • Speed limit is 5 mph.
  • To limit damage to grass, all riders must ride on the gravel road.
  • Use 4-wheel drive on tow vehicles, if available.
  • Drive slowly and apply brakes gently. Limit damage from machines by making wide turns and avoid spinning tires.


TRAILS





  • Stay off closed trails marked with red ‘X’ signs, yellow rope/caution tape, orange fencing, or stacked debris.
  • Active trail signs indicate level of difficulty with green circles (Easy), blue squares (Moderate) and black diamonds (Difficult).
  • Ride at a speed equal to your ability.
  • Trails are 2-way, except where marked.

    • Fall turkey season: All trails CLOSED all day on Saturdays.
    • Antlered deer season: All trails CLOSED Monday thru Sunday.
    • Spring turkey season: All trails CLOSED on Saturdays until 12:00 PM.


RESPECT OTHER TRAIL USERS





Our landowners may grant others permission to ride or hunt their properties. Some ride horses and may ride them on the trails at any time. When you see them, pull your machine off the trail and shut off your engine until they pass.



TRAIL MAINTENANCE





  • Remove branches, trees or other obstacles, if possible.
  • If too large to remove, report trail number to a Club Officer.
  • Do not create trails around debris - turn around.
  • If branches or briars are hanging over a trail, snap them off.
  • Minimize trail damage during wet weather conditions
