Gem State ATV Association of Idaho

Welcome to Gem State ATV Association of Idaho!

Thank you for stopping by the Gem State ATV Association of Idaho's website. The Gem State ATV Association originated from the need to establish an effective, statewide organization to represent the interests of recreational ATV riders in Idaho. The explosive growth of ATV use in Idaho is overtaxing available trails. There is also a pressing need for training in safety and land ethics, particularly for new riders. We need such an organization to establish and maintain a continuing dialogue with legislators, land and recreation managers, law enforcement personnel and other OHV groups to make sure that ATV riders from all over the state of Idaho have a place at the table when decisions are being made that affect their interests.
