Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-11

OHV Trail Finder collects no personal information and sets no cookies. The finder runs entirely in your browser — a state or vehicle you pick, and any "trails near me" location request, are used only to show your result and are never sent to a server. Traffic is measured with aggregate, privacy-preserving analytics that use no cookies and identify no individual. The site shows no advertising today; if third-party ads are added later, this policy's Advertising section explains what that would mean. Contact [email protected].

The short version

OHV Trail Finder collects no personal information, requires no account, and sets no cookies. The finder runs entirely in your browser.

The finder and “trails near me”

The state and vehicle you pick are used only to filter the list in your browser — they are never sent to a server. If you tap “Trails near me,” your browser asks your permission to share your location; if you allow it, your coordinates are used only in your browser to sort districts by distance and are never transmitted or stored. Deny the request and the finder still works by state.

Maps

Each district page has an interactive map you can choose to open. When you open it, the routes are drawn over U.S. Geological Survey The National Map basemap tiles, which load from the USGS — the only external request this site makes, and only after you open a map. The map runs in your browser; no tracking or analytics is attached to it, and nothing about your use of the map is sent to us.

Analytics

Traffic may be measured with aggregate, privacy-preserving analytics that use no cookies and identify no individual. These record coarse, anonymous signals (such as page views and referrers) to understand what is useful — never who you are.

Advertising

The site shows no advertising today. If lightweight display ads are added later, this section will be updated to describe any third-party cookies or identifiers that would involve, and your choices about them.

Downloads and external links

GPX files download directly from this site. Links to the official U.S. Forest Service pages take you to a government site with its own privacy policy, which governs your visit there.
