Use of modified ORVs and snow bikes
If a motorized vehicle is originally manufactured as an ORV, it's considered an ORV (despite any modifications). Operation is permitted in the following situations:
- Motorized recreational vehicles must be operated and registered as designed by the manufacturer, despite any modifications.
- Modified ORVs are permitted to operate on snowmobile and ORV trails designated as dual purpose.
- Modified ORVs are not allowed on trails that are designated as snowmobile-only.
