Off-highway vehicles (OHV) are also banned from Hawksnest Road (if they are unlicensed) because it is a county road. Driving on the beach is illegal and especially damaging because it destroys rare plants and the vegetation essential to maintaining water quality.
Parking outside established areas, close to the beach, is one form of illegal OHV use. Signs are needed to indicate where parking is legal.
You can help by reporting information that will be logged and used to gather evidence for identification and prosecution of OHV operators and for guiding official efforts.
Please report the following information to Harwich Police by phone, or call the toll-free 24-hour of the Environmental Police Dispatch Center at 1-800-632-8075:
- The time, date and approximate location of the sighting as precisely as you can describe it;
- The number and type of OHV’s along with any descriptions of machines and operators;
- Direction of travel of the machines when sighted;
- Any other information or ideas you have which may be useful in determining where the OHV’s came from or went to;
- The identities of the operators, if known. Take photos!
Thank you for your help.
