Get a camera. Put up private property and no trespassing signs that are plainly visible.

You also might want to talk to a lawyer.

Anyone on your property is potentially your liability. Although those ATV’s are supposed to be registered, titled and insured, it’s likely that some are not.

The DNR website states that all law enforcement in PA are authorized to enforce the Snowmobile/ATV law, including state police.

You might not want to call them, but if there’s an accident or an incident on your property they will need to respond. It’s their job to cover rural areas when there’s no local PD.

There also must be a sheriff’s office that’s in your county.

^^ This^^.

IANAL, but almost certain if you don't have visible "Private property, NO atvs (+add what ever else)" signs, then YOU technically ARE responsible for "whatever happens" on said property. Might be worth the few hundo to consult w/property attorney, even if just for liability purposes.

Signs are not a legal protection. ie: Beware Attack Dog.

Guess what, if that dog attacks an intruder, he can sue you for damages, signage or not.

Stand you ground laws exist you know as well. Intruders can't sue if they have no life.
