The environmentalists criticize ATV riding as a sport because of excessive use in areas biologists consider to be sensitive. The deep treads on some ATV tires are very effective for navigating rocky, muddy and root covered terrain. The deep tread digs channels that may drain bogs, increase sedimentation in streams at crossings, damage snowmobile trails and cause destruction in many ecosystems.

ATV advocacy groups trying to save the sport have been organized to purchase property or obtain permission of landowners. Today we have clubs that build and maintain trails, suitable for ATV riding and educate ATV riders about responsible riding. These clubs are not compensated for their efforts from taxpayer money, and many have formed separate governing bodies that license ATVs separately.

Self-regulation of ATV use has proven particularly difficult. One public complaint against ATVs is excessive noise. When you add it all up we could one day lose ATVs altogether. With the majority of ATVs comply with noise regulations; there are those whose intentional violation can disturb the activities of other recreational users. Changing an ATV's exhaust silencer and spark arrestor is illegal on all US federal lands. The law enforcement is spotty at best.
