I ride off road motorcycles on private property. Believe me when I say it will be impossible to get anywhere to ride in CT for a couple of reasons. First we are fairly densely populated and no one really wants any kind of organized motorized sport anywhere in their town because of the noise and dust. Second, people don't like inviting any kind of motorized enthusiast "element" into their town. We are a rather uppity NIMBY state. Third, CT already has laws in place that exempt property owners from lawsuits for anyone using their private property along established trails, however in the 70s these laws were changed to specifically exclude motorcycles and snowmobiles. I would presume ATVs would now fall into this exception. Finally, can you imagine the scene all the hikers and nature lovers would make? They already think any patch of woodland is theirs and pitch a fit when you try to ride mountain bikes or horses or do anything other than walk. Literally you cannot do anything other than hike and bird watch according to this group, they just don't like human activity.

CT, RI and Delaware are the three states who are exempt from Federal law ensuring there is off-road access and entertainment spaces with federal highway funds. This is why there are trails and other places to do off road motorized recreation in Western Mass, New York, Vermont, New Jersey etc. Everyone who has off-road vehicles in CT has to go on private land or out of state. We are taxed for these vehicles but provided no spaces to use them.... oh, and in one town they tried to prohibit kids from riding quads on their own land.
