Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What kind of tow vehicle do I need?
You need a vehicle capable of towing at least 2,000 lbs for ATV rentals and 3,500 lbs for UTV rentals; all trailers require a 2" ball. If unsure, confirm your vehicle’s towing capability before arrival—rentals will not be allowed to leave if the operator deems the tow unsafe.
How big and heavy is the ATV for loading?
The rental ATV weighs about 400 lbs fully fueled, is 72" long, 43" wide (tire to tire), with a 28" wheelbase and a 12" height to the foot guard; truck bed and ramp requirements and loading dangers are detailed by the operator.
Is there an age requirement to rent and drive?
Yes—renters and drivers must be 18 years or older and hold a valid driver’s license; passengers must be at least 2 years old with appropriate child‑safety restraints when required.
Do I need a helmet?
Yes—helmets are required for all machines. The operator can provide DOT‑approved helmets for a fee, or you may bring your own DOT or SNELL approved helmet; refusal to wear a helmet will prevent rental.
What insurance and deposits are required?
All rentals include a premium liability insurance policy at no additional charge and optional medical insurance for an added fee; there is no separate damage deposit—the insurance covers the first $5,000 in damage and renters are liable for amounts above that.
Where can I legally take my rental?
You may take rentals to many ORV areas in Washington; the operator recommends Walker Valley ORV Park and also lists Reiter Foothills. Riders must verify local and state laws—UTVs are considered OHVs and may be illegal on some Forest Service Roads designated Highway Vehicle Use Only.
Do you provide maps for riding areas?
The operator does not carry maps, but most OHV area maps can be downloaded from the National Forest Service and used in the free Avenza Maps app for navigation.
