NPS

Riding off-road in the park is allowed only on these National Park Service-designated ORV routes and areas. Pay attention to each location’s specific rules (e.g., speed limits, seasonal closures) set by park management. It's the drivers responsibility to know where your vehicle is allowed.

Glen Canyon's General Management Plan (GMP) established Park Designated Roads.

  • All ORVs are authorized for use on the unpaved designated roads currently open to only conventional vehicles and street- legal all-terrain vehicles (ATV).
    Note: There are 388 miles of Designated Roads of which 304 miles are unpaved.
  • All ORVs are authorized for use on approximately eight miles of road in the Orange Cliffs Unit (Route 633 proceeding north to Route 730 and proceeding west to the park boundary), which completes the 100-mile Poison Spring Loop located on NPS and adjacent BLM lands.The remaining designated roads are open to conventional motor vehicles only.
  • All other user-created routes and linear disturbances within the recreation area are closed to public motor vehicle travel.
  • Street-legal ATVs are prohibited on the Lees Ferry Access Road (AZ) and other paved roads in the Lees Ferry developed area (AZ). This closure is for visitor safety concerns and to protect habitat for threatened and endangered species immediately adjacent to the road.

Shoreline Access Areas (SAA)

Designated Shoreline Access Areas are open only to conventional motor vehicles and street-legal ATVs with a permits. Some areas are closed to street-legal ATVs seasonally. Unpaved Designated Roads within SAA do not require a permit. Speed limits are 15 mph unless otherwise posted.


A permit system is in development. Permits are required for the following areas.

  • All Shoreline Access Areas
  • Ferry Swale Area, including Corrals Road and Seismograph Road
  • Lone Rock Beach and Lone Rock Play Area

ORV Permits are separate from park entrance fees. To purchase a entrance pass, visit our fees webpage.

If the road, route, or shoreline area is not officially designated on the map, it is closed to motorized vehicle use. Do not be fooled by “social trails” seen on the ground. Minimize your impact by staying on designated routes.
