Outdoor adventure is part of our DNA. We believe everyone has a right to experience nature and the recreational opportunities it provides. In light of that, we founded our Access and Stewardship program which allows us to leverage positive impact and drive change. This program inspires communities to pass on responsible recreation ethics, enables land access, and promotes healthy ecosystems.

In a place known for barbecue, blues, and Beale Street, local conservationists are working on another accolade—public wetlands. Memphis sits at a crossroads. Economically, its position along the Mississippi River and Interstates 40 and 55 draw mega-employers like Fedex, Autozone, and International Paper. Culturally, the home of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Elvis, and the blues, […]
An onX Adventure Forever Grant Story
Stretching 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada, the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) connects communities, ecosystems, and cultures across the American West.
The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC)—the stewards of this National Scenic Trail—works year-round to maintain, protect, and complete the CDT for future generations.
This year, onX’s Adventure Forever Grant, in partnership with Toyota, helped fund four volunteer trailwork projects along the CDT—from North Fork, Idaho, to Silver City, New Mexico. Each project improved the hiking experience for both thru-hikers and local communities. While every volunteer brought their own story and motivation, all were united by a shared love of place.
In 2025, onX awarded the Two Wolf Foundation and Adventure Forever Grant to conduct their public land stewardship work. In teams of six, participants load up into a convoy of Toyota overland rigs to embark on an overlanding mission that combines backcountry travel with volunteerism on our public lands. By giving back to landscapes, groups bond through service, community, and a shared mission.

Sixty percent of the land in the U.S. is privately owned, but millions of acres of private land around the country are open to hunters each year—all thanks to state programs and landowners who prioritize conservation and public access. Read our report to learn how much land is opened each year and what it takes for these programs to be successful.
At onX we believe that everyone should have access to nature, but we also realize that increased recreation means additional pressure on our public lands. And while most of us see the importance in stewardship, there’s a gap between the increasing number of outdoor enthusiasts and the percentage of those who give back to the lands that fuel their activities. Read the report to learn how we can encourage more outdoor stewardship and help preserve our access to the outdoors for the future.
We wanted to get the hard facts on corner-crossing, so we dove into the data. Read the report to learn how much land is involved, the concerns of affected property owners, and what can be done to address this complicated issue.
You may have public land at your fingertips you didn’t know about. Twenty states have state trust land (a.k.a. school land), and every one of those states has different access and activity rules, so we made it easy to look up which states allow hunting, off-roading, and backcountry activities so you can spend more time outside and less time on the internet.
We worked with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership to quantify the number of acres of public land that are landlocked, and therefore inaccessible to the public, and shared this information with land management agencies and policy makers.
Access is complicated. Stewardship is a journey. Learn more and take action.
A new ruling by the 10th Circuit Court clarifies that corner crossing can be legal under federal law, impacting access to over 3 million acres of public land. However, corner crossing still involves nuanced considerations—including local trespass laws, careful navigation, and respect for private property lines.
Discover how to navigate and access federal public lands with this comprehensive guide, covering land designations, regulations, and tips for responsible exploration.
GPS, or Global Positioning System, is at the core of navigation, but do you understand how it works?
A comprehensive guide on how to write effective public comments for land management plans, emphasizing the importance of being informed, specific, and constructive to influence decisions on recreational access and resource management.
The team at onX Offroad partnered up with the Public Lands Stewards of Bend to create this step-by-step guide to a safe, organized, and successful day. We hope this takes the wondering out of planning, so you can focus on getting it done.
We believe it’s part of our duty to give back to the places that fuel our adventures. We aim to preserve our lands and serve our outdoor communities through grant funding that protects recreational access and opportunities, restores our ecosystems, and mobilizes communities to give back. Together, we can protect adventure forever.
