Trail Rides

Trail Rig Trail Passes

The DNR is NOT selling registration decals at the park this year. 

All trail vehicles must have a Minnesota DNR Trail Pass.That means you need to get your sticker before you arrive at the park. 

Resident ORV Trail Pass – Initial purchase of 3 year sticker

Follow this process if you have never had a DNR trail sticker on your trail rig and want a 3 year pass.  

IMPORTANT: You cannot buy this sticker online or over the phone. You have to buy it in person.

• Go to this link: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/ohv/index.html 

• Expand the ORV section (their language is inconsistent…ORV vs. OHV)

• Print the Universal Registration Form (https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/rlp/universal_form.pdf)

• Fill out the form as much as possible.
  Notes: leave off your engine size, ATV width, and Dry Weight (because those are ATV questions).
  The county used most would be St. Louis county (where the Iron Range OHV park is located)

• Go to your local DMV office.

  • If necessary, you can locate your local office via this link: https://onlineservices.dps.mn.gov/EServices/_/.

  • Put in your zip code and select “License Plate Services” to locate your desired office

  • NOTE: You cannot use the DNR’s Deputy Registrar list (https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/licenses/agents.html), because it will give you gas stations and hardware stores that sell hunting/fishing licenses (and these do NOT carry the OHV sticker)…you need an actual DMV office.

• At your local DMV office, give them the form and $38.50, and you should receive a small decal to affix to your rear plate (upper right corner). It’s good for 3 years. 

Note that DMV staff are often NOT familiar with the DNR’s OHV (off highway vehicle) sticker (it’s similar to your tabs, goes on your rear license plate, but in the upper corner)
