Wyoming has over 640 miles of ORV trails and 2,585 snowmobile trails managed by a variety of agencies. Trail opportunities in Wyoming are many and diverse. Wyoming’s trails are located in areas ranging from deep river canyons to high desert plains, to high mountain crags and alpine meadows, to community greenways. Hikers, bicyclists, equestrians, skiers, snowmobilers, historians, ORV (off-road vehicle) riders and community pathway users all use Wyoming’s statewide system of trails. Outdoor recreation has been an important part of the State’s way of life for many years.

The State Trails Program does not own any property or directly control any trail. The Program partners with other land management agencies to maintain, create and provide funding and or labor and equipment for trails. An emphasis is placed upon the federal lands that host 98% of all trails in Wyoming. The State Trails Program is primarily funded through motorized user and registration fees - the Program is charged with administering the snowmobile and ORV programs in Wyoming. Management of non-motorized trails is a secondary role since other federal, state and local agencies are the primary non-motorized trail managers in Wyoming.

Please remember to Tread Lightly© and carry a current travel management map or land use map from the land managing agency. It is your responsibility to know local land management allowances and restrictions.

About – The Wyoming State Trails Non-Motorized Program, created in 2009, is responsible for trails maintenance and construction within our jurisdiction. We also help local trail grass groups with resources and offer assistance where needed. We partner with local organizations in fatbike planning and RTP grant assistance.

Programs WyVTC – In 2017, the Wyoming State Trails Program is partnering with the University of Wyoming and have developed a “Veteran’s Trail Crew Program.” This program was designed with the sole intention of reintroducing Veteran’s into civilian life. In many cases, but not all, military personnel have adapted into wartime lifestyles and self and troop protection is first and foremost.

This program was developed to be a transitional program and designed to be the “next step.” Trail work by nature is difficult and is a team activity which veterans are used to. They camp and work together from May to August in a natural outdoor setting. Along with others of similar experiences, this can be a place to “unwind.” They can reflect and talk about their experiences during the day and work out the challenges of “what’s next.” For some it may be college or a trade school and this is reachable with the GI bill where they meet new friends and are introduced to new ideas. This program pays a stipend and gives educational credit. The programs main goal is to assist veterans in finding a newfound purpose, community and sense of self.

Giving back to those who gave everything is why this program exists. Thank you to ALL veterans!

Wyoming State OHV funds are raised from the sale of ORV and Snowmobile permits. This revenue is used to provide Trail Ranger Grants and Maintenance, Construction and Planning Grants to federal partners to help provide motorized trail management. Trail Ranger grants help provide on-trail education and enforcement, light trail maintenance, and promote safe and ethical recreation on federal lands. Maintenance, Construction and Planning Grants fund on-the-ground projects and planning that will benefit public motorized trails.

Wyoming State Trails also has an 8-member trail crew that is available to perform maintenance, rehabilitation and development work on motorized trails across the state at no cost to federal agencies, other than providing on-site project coordination.
