Off Highway Vehical Regulations

On March 20, 2009 the HLA BOD voted to adopt the State of Utah's Off-Highway Vehicle laws and rules as association regulations concerning the safety standard related to operations of OHVs on association property. Permission was granted by the State Parks & Recreation to use the State OHV information with the necessary changes appropriate for Hidden Lake Association. For information about OHV certification for children 8 to 15 please visit the Utah OHV Website.
