Frequently Asked Questions
Why do trails close?
Trails close for a variety of reasons, both temporary and permanent. Trails often have seasonal open and close dates for when they’re accessible for use. Weather events, fire danger, or trail restoration and maintenance can also limit access to trails. For those that are closed permanently, it’s generally due to underuse and lack of maintenance resources, barricades, private property, and locked gates. Check to see if you can go with onX Offroad’s Trail Report.
How can I make sure a trail is open before I go?
Use onX Offroad to check for open trails. Tap any trail for a detailed overview, including open and closed dates. For the most current conditions and closure information, tap a blue Featured Trail to check out the Trail Report.
Can I submit a Trail Report without cell service?
Yes, you can submit a Trail Report with current conditions or closure information while you’re outside cell coverage. Fill in the submission with relevant details, and the report will automatically submit once you’re back in coverage.
Can I go on a closed trail in an off-road vehicle?
Check before you go, and always adhere to any closure requirements and signage on a trail. Trails can often be closed due to needing restoration, lack of maintenance, or because it would be considered trespassing.
