As of July 1, 2022, ATV and UTV riders in Iowa now have greater use and access for their rides throughout the state of Iowa. Why? A 2020 survey asked riders of four-wheeled recreational vehicles in the state what they’d most like to see changed, and nearly 5,000 riders enthusiastically told the surveyors.
Above all, riders said they wanted to be able to ride in all 99 of Iowa’s counties, as well as hop on county and/or state roads as necessary to connect trailheads. According to the new law, it seems those ATV and UTV riders have gotten their wish. There are still plenty of restrictions to be observed, but here are the revised rules, current as of July 1, 2022.
