and the environment.

public land, public ice, designated riding trails or designated riding areas in
Iowa:
*Persons under the age of 16 may operate their own snowmobile under the
direct supervision of a responsible person of at least 18 years of age
experienced in snowmobile operation who possesses a valid driver's
license or an education certificate issued or recognized by the DNR.
Persons 12 through 17 must have a valid snowmobile education certificate in
their possession when operating.

In-Person Classes Cancelled for 2020-21
In addition to other measures taken by the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR) to further stop the spread of COVID-19, the IDNR is
suspending its in-person, instructor-led snowmobile education courses for
the 2020-21 winter season.
This is being done to reduce the exposure risk to students, volunteer
instructors, and their families to COVID-19. The IDNR is encouraging the use
of online services where possible. Snowmobilers needing an education
certificate may select the remote option available at
www.SnowmobileCourse.com/USA/Iowa.
