No, they setup places for them to ride.
That is the only solution.

Excellent example for comparison. As much as the DCR is using environmental concerns to shape policy, complaints of illegal riding (tresspass, damage) is one of the more prevalent concerns voiced by citizens.
One thing I find curious is the DCR's process of applying their filter criteria to the remaining areas where OHV use is still permitted. They've only applied the "coarse" filter so far, which caused the closure of Georgetown-Rowley State Forest to OHV use. They were very hot to apply their filtering at first, yet they're now way behind in applying their final, "fine" filter to the remaining areas. THAT is going to have some impact.
