Please note:

Out of state ATV riders must purchase a TrailPass to ride in New York State. NYS is reciprocal with out of state ATV registrations, so you can ride here if your off-road vehicle is registered elsewhere.
Out of state Snowmobilers do not need a NY TrailPass. However, the snowmobile must be registered in New York State, and the rider must carry insurance.
