Off-Highway PAL Program

In cooperation with California State Parks, the Off Highway PAL program is conducted at 10 SVRA and SRA sites throughout the state.  PAL youth, ages 12-17 are taught how to ride ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), Motorcycles or Snowmobiles (SnoPAL) then allowed to ride on off-road trails in a very safe and supervised environment.  Also as part of the program, there is the opportunity for PAL officers to be trained in a comprehensive instructor's course so that PAL directors or volunteers can also teach kids how to ride off-highway vehicles.  The Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division of the California State Parks maintains the motorcycles, snowmobles and ATV's at each of the Off-Highway PAL sites.  There is no cost to the PALS/SALS to use the vehicles and equipment.
