Permits & Reciprocity

Three-Day Spearhead Permits Cost $25 for Everyone, but the permit covers three calendar days, not 72 hours; check dates and rules before riding.

A Virginia Spearhead annual permit runs for a year from its purchase date, so check its expiration, rider details, and trail-system coverage before each trip.

The $30 county discount reduces a $68 annual Spearhead permit to $38 for eligible residents who confirm residency and purchase details.

Youth permits for Spearhead Trails are listed at $38. Check eligibility, adult permits, digital verification, and machine rules before riding.

A $68 Spearhead annual permit covers eligible access on its trail network, not every Virginia riding area or the separate Hatfield-McCoy system.

Virginia trail permits depend on the riding system. Check Spearhead, national forest, and neighboring-state rules before hauling your machine.

Virginia ATV and UTV permit penalties depend on the trail system; confirm the right permit, route access, and proof requirements before riding.

Virginia ATV insurance proof at a trailhead is not a statewide blanket requirement, but parks, events, or land managers may set their own rules.

Virginia fire restrictions can affect campfires even when trails are open. Check the exact area, current notices, and riding rules before hauling your ATV.

Virginia has no single group-size limit for every trail. Check the operator’s rules, permits and event policies before planning a group ride.
