Permits & Reciprocity

Buying a Daniel Boone pass online is possible through Recreation.gov, but confirm the pass, display method, and trail access before departure.

The Daniel Boone National Forest annual OHV pass is tied to one machine; a second ATV or UTV needs its own pass for forest trail access.

A Daniel Boone day pass fits a single riding day where required, but it does not replace Kentucky title rules or another park’s separate permits.

Turkey Bay campers should not assume a shower comes with an OHV permit or campsite; confirm separate facility access and charges before arriving.

What counts as one camping unit at Turkey Bay depends on the sleeping setup, not just the riders; confirm how staff count tents, campers and trailers.

A three-day Turkey Bay permit may fit a Friday-to-Sunday ride; verify its dates, current fee, machine requirements, and gate arrangements before traveling.

A Turkey Bay annual permit can pay off with frequent visits, but compare current day-permit costs, coverage, and realistic plans before buying.

A family of four at Leatherwood should budget permits per person, not per machine, and confirm current rates, age rules and included access.

Leatherwood permits are generally charged per person, so passengers should plan on their own permit and confirm current rules before arrival.

Kentucky trail permits may be charged per rider or per machine; check passenger rules, park access, and total costs before hauling your group and machines.
