What is an ATV?

An ATV is an all-terrain vehicle that comes in various sizes, depending on the rider’s age. ATVs are used for off-highway travel. An ATV has a seat designed to be straddled by the driver and handlebars for steering.

How do I get started with my first ATV experience?

If you’re new to ATV riding, consider a guided ATV tour. Schedule your ATV tour at our Midway Location for ATVs. With a professional leading your tour, you’ll be in good hands in unfamiliar territory.

When should I go on an ATV tour?

ATV season runs from late spring into late fall. Check out our website for reservations and live availability information. Booking ahead is always a good idea, especially if you have a larger party.

What should I know for my first trail ride?

As with any vehicle, it’s important to familiarize yourself by practicing starting, stopping, turning, and reversing. Our guided tour will focus on beginner-level terrain. Avoid rushing, and go at your pace on your first ride.

Safety tips:

  • Always wear a helmet and protective gear
  • Only ride in an ATV built for your age
  • Stay on designated trails
  • Don’t go faster than your comfort level
  • Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol
