I've yet to see one foot of newly created trail in the years since they re-opened a few state forests back up to OHV use.

=======================

MGL Chapter 90B, section 20-35, and 323 CMR 3.00 spell out the policies, but the MGL provides the definition:

“Recreation vehicle”, any motor vehicle designed or modified for use over unimproved terrain if used for recreation or pleasure off a public way as defined in chapter ninety, and all legally registered motor vehicles when used off a way, as defined under chapter ninety; provided, however, that for the purpose of vehicles used for agriculture, forestry, lumbering or construction shall be excluded from this definition when used for such purpose, provided, further, that in any complaint brought under this chapter the burden shall be upon the defendant to prove of such use. Any motor vehicle legally registered under chapter ninety will not be subject to registration under this chapter but registration numbers shall be displayed as required by said chapter ninety.
