About the Grants

Off Highway Vehicle Grants

The OHV Program seeks to improve and enhance motorized recreation opportunities in Colorado while promoting safe, responsible use of OHVs with projects related to recreational use of Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs) on lands open to the public. OHVs include: trail motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and four-wheel drive vehicles.

Eligible Good Management OHV Grants projects include:  funding requests from federal agencies and their direct supporters so they can attract and retain experienced trail crews for the operation and maintenance of their OHV riding areas.

Eligible Programmatic OHV Project Grant projects include: OHV education and safety programs, land acquisition or easement projects, restoration of trails, construction and planning of OHV routes, trailhead development and/or support facilities related to OHV or multi-use trails including parking areas, restrooms, and related facilities. OHV programmatic or competitive project grants address the full spectrum of OHV recreation support needs in Colorado. 

Currently Closed: This grant application opens every October.
