CrossBows are legal for physically Challenged Individuals!

If you enjoy visiting the National Forests but have had physical limitations due to a disability, you may now qualify for a special use permit which would allow the use of an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on the Shawnee National Forest. A state of Illinois 1A or 2A disability identification card or equivalent from another state is required for obtaining an ATV access permit.

Contact one of the five locations shown below for more information concerning an ATV access permit. The permit is valid for the use of an ATV one year from the date of issue but is not valid for jeeps or 4-wheel drive trucks. One assistant with an ATV may accompany the permittee and must stay within hailing distance of the permittee. A permit is not required for the assistant.
