Newly-formed division will help keep Utah's state parks thriving, while also keeping visitors safe.
SALT LAKE CITY — This year, a new crew of state rangers will be out trying to keep everyone safe and informed.
“There are some places throughout the state that are being loved to death" said Jason Curry, Director of the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation. “We’ve seen the number of off-highway vehicles registered just triple. We’ve seen boating registrations going up, so there’s just a lot more people out and about; a lot more people outdoor recreating.”
The OHV adult registration course became available in January and it became a requirement this year for all adult riders and youth riders to have a certification.
