Permits & Reciprocity

Choosing between a Washington Discover Pass day pass and annual pass depends on repeat visits, vehicle use, and whether your ride also needs ORV tabs.

Washington’s Discover Pass increase reflects inflation, budget shortfalls and park needs; learn what it covers and why ATV tabs remain separate.

An annual Discover Pass runs out according to its displayed expiration information; check it before a trip and arrange current access for DNR sites.

Washington night trail riding depends on land-specific access rules, required permits, reliable lights, and a conservative plan for darkness and hazards.

Washington passenger rules for children under 16 depend on machine design, restraints, helmets, and where the ATV or UTV is ridden.

Washington ATV and UTV access on national park roads depends on the specific road, park rules, and vehicle requirements; tabs alone do not grant permission.

Washington reservation road access depends on the road authority, tribal rules and your vehicle credentials; verify the route and permits before riding.

Washington rules for packing out game by ATV or UTV depend on land access: stay on authorized routes, secure meat, and follow hunting rules.

Washington hunting from an ATV is generally prohibited, but riding to a legal access point is allowed when hunting and land rules permit and routes are open.

Washington ATV and UTV riders may travel near a wilderness boundary only on confirmed motorized routes outside designated wilderness.
