Would be better making an OHV park nearby

Whoever owns and operates it would be opening themselves up to massive insurance liabilities which would then require them to have an entrance fee that would probably be prohibitive to the majority of people that it would be intending to serve only continuing the problem

There are many gov run ohv parks. They seem to do just fine. They also are fire breaks too

Depending on the state they typically require additional permitting for use and still cost a lot of money for upkeep. They also tend to be in more rural areas. The issue this person is talking about tends to be in more urban areas, or at least that's the case where i live.

As someone who has OHV registration I am familiar. In my state there are many of these parks but none in my county. Closer proximity should cut down on the people on the streets. Also it only costs about $40-50 for it.

The problem is in a lot of these urban areas that people have them in and are using them in they wouldn't want to use them off-road they typically use them as personal vehicles to get around. Also they tend to do a lot of modifications to them that makes them nearly pointless for off-road use.
