On the trails, if you pass other ORVs you will hold up however many fingers of however many riders are behind you to indicate whether or not it is safe to continue on the trail.
Example: Holding up the #1 means there is 1 other rider behind you. #2 means two more riders. The last rider of the group will hold a closed fist up for other riders to know that is the end of your group. DRIVER ONLY uses these signals.
Turning right is a 90-degree angle of your left arm and a left turn is an extended left arm. Don’t worry! We will explain when you arrive.

- Remember that designated trails are open to other users. Be courteous to other riders, horses and hikers on the trail. – Full sized vehicles, quads, dirt bikes, sand rails & more all share the trails.
- If you meet bikers, horses, and hikers coming from the opposite direction, slow down, pull over, and yield the right-of-way.
- Trails are located on STATE LAND. RZR RIPN’ RENTALS is NOT an ORV park. Please do your research before riding.
- Always yield to uphill traffic. Uphill traffic may have difficulty starting again if it stops.
- Slow down when someone is passing you.
- If you stop to talk to others on the trail, be polite and remove your helmet. A helmet masks your features and can be intimidating.
- Be safe and considerate when you stop along the trail. Never stop side-by-side, in the middle of the trail, at the crest of a hill, or around a corner on the trail. Also, never block an intersection. Remember to shut off your engine.
