Snowmobiling in Ohio

Snowmobiling is permitted on designated trails at a number of state parks. Snowmobile operation is allowed only when the ground is frozen and completely covered with snow or ice.

Snowmobiling is also permitted on the frozen surface of many state park lakes in designated areas when the lake is posted for snowmobiling.

Snowmobiling hours are limited to 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Snowmobiles must be registered with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent state bureau for out-of-state park visitors).

Children under age 12 must be accompanied by an adult, and youth ages 12 to 15 must be closely supervised by an adult when operating snowmobiles in Ohio State Parks.
