If you are considering joining a local ATV/UTV Club or Association, you are on the path (literally) to making lasting friendships and having a ton of fun!
ATV/UTV clubs are a wealth of information. They are dedicated to offering their members up-to-date information on the sport, including knowledge about certain riding areas, the latest ATV/UTV equipment, and how-to’s on keeping your ATV/UTV in great condition.
According to ATV-411.com there are many great benefits to joining an ATV club:
- The number one rule of ATV riding is to never go alone. An ATV club allows you to meet new riding buddies so you should never have to.
- Lots of ATV clubs and ATV associations charge dues or a membership fee in order to lease or purchase a club riding area for its members.
- ATV clubs can usually arrange for a club discounts through local ATV dealers in the area.
- ATV club members can be a valuable source of information for all of your ATV-related questions.
- Another great benefit of ATV clubs and ATV associations, is the strength in numbers philosophy. Simply put, it is much easier for an ATV club to negotiate with private landowners, local authorities, and even the local press to keep local riding areas open, set up charity events, and get positive coverage in the local papers or news.

As Lakewoodians, we are situated in a great area that we are able to literally drive off of our property and onto a road route that connects to trails….hundreds of miles of routes/trails! With the influx of so many more UTV’s, have also come the expansion of more trails/routes as well….and hopefully more to come! There are different options for joining a club and the yearly dues generally range from $15.00 to $20.00 for a single membership. This sport is only growing in popularity, so consider getting involved and join a club today 🙂
