Ive been getting mixed replies here and there and also been reading things that contradict each other. Some people say you can use a green sticker vehicle in a certain spot and others say you cant. Id like to maybe start a list here of where you can and cant go with a green sticker vehicle. Im going to call some places and see what they say.

Please list places that allow and dont allow green sticker vehicles: (Thanks)

its my understanding that you can use a green sticker vehicle on any open BLM land (TDS/Truckhaven, Johnson Valley) and on any 'non-road' routes in the National forests (those listed as 'trails'). For instance...you cant drive it to the Rock Garden(3N16), but I believe you can use it on The Rock Garden (3N34)or John Bull(3N10)....

You can use it at the Dunes...Dumont, Glamis, Pimso but ya cant drive it there(trailered "Zilla is how it is now right?)

I'll be interested to findout how correct my understanding is.

Tom, you pretty much hit the nail on the head! There are several trails, that although impassible by a street vehicle are posted as open to street licsensed vehicles only, it's another land grab by the tree huggers!

I'll look into it.

On the pages listed above I read that the Rubicon Trail is a green sticker trail as well as many of Big Bear trails. I rode all over Big Bear and do not recall any signs that said green stickers were not allowed on it. I have seen one dirt road/trail in Octillo Wells with a sign posted saying it though. On those pages you will get all your answers. There is even a link on the forest page to get a free map. Later

snip from the site

Cactus Flats Staging area near Big Bear, Pinnacles Staging area near Lake Arrowhead, eight trailering sites, Big Pine Flats Campground, Horse Spring Campground, and Crab Flats Campground offer direct access to the OHV system to enhance the visitor's riding and driving opportunity on the forest.

Tom I do not think the intent is for everyone to trailer down the dirt roads/trails and unload at the base of a trail, then load back up to trailer it to another trail. That would clog the trail system and make it a hazzard for emergency vehicles. I do not have a map so I can not say for sure which roads are open to green stickers and which are not but I did not see any signs posted on any of the roads/trails we went on up there and we hit all of the "trails". I have only been there one weekend though (trails are too easy :goodfinge )

Contact your local Ranger Station to obtain free OHV riding area maps and current information on trail conditions.

and just to clarify the Rubicon Trail

Federal and Local OHV Parks, Areas and Trails
This is a broad category of OHV recreation opportunity, primarily associated with the OHV Program’s partnership with cities, counties and federal agencies. It includes local OHV "parks" such as Glen Helen or Frank Raines; large federal "areas" like Glamis Dunes or Kennedy Meadows; and "trails" such as the Rubicon or Mojave Road. They provide thousands of acres and hundreds of miles of roads and trails for OHV Recreation . The Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service and many cities and counties receive several millions of dollars from the OHV Fund every year to help them provide for and manage the OHVs using their land.

Hey Raf, just take some of that genital herpes medication. You'll be able to go anywhere and do anything, all with a smile on your face.

I believe I have a picture that shows a sign that would clarify....finding it may take me a bit as I am only home for a couple hours a week lately.
The road to crab flats campground 3N16 is restricted to "street legal vehicles", posted at the green valley lake end of the trail the last time I was there. large enough not to miss if you are paying attention. :rockon
You may quite possibly get away with running a green sticker vehicle on the road if it "looks" street legal.
Excellent advice to call the local forest station to get current maps and info.
