If you live in the Agricultural zone (MN), the summer ban is over! You can now ride your ATV within the right of way (ditch) of a state and county road!!!

Quote:

"Agricultural zone" means the areas in Minnesota lying south and west of a line following highway rights-of-way through central Minnesota (see map below).

The line: Starting at the Minnesota-North Dakota border, the line runs east along State Highway 10 to State Highway 23, then follows Highway 23 east to State Highway 95 to the Wisconsin border.

Agricultural zone restriction: You may not drive an ATV within the right-of-way (ditch) of a state or county road from April 1 to August 1 in the agricultural zone. This does not apply to ATVs licensed and used for agricultural purposes.

As long as there aren't any city ordinances for the city you live in...right

And your not in the seven-county metro area.

None where i live... all the ordinances talk about snowmobiles... you can't drive them in city limits except to take it from your residence to the closest point outside of city limits (A to B). Nothing about ATVs though.

Well, took the wheeler out in the ditches for a short while tonight... The weeds are up 4-5 feet in some places with no visibility of the ground in most places... so I didn't push her too hard. I only got the wheeler this last winter, so I had only taken these ditches in the snow. Wasn't quite sure what to expect... but got plenty of weeds in the face. Was nice to get the wind blowing across my bald head though!
