All trails are closed The warm weather and rain has melted away most of the snow and made a
mess on the trails
Trail
change: S93
– between Fisherman’s Lane and S92 “the old railroad bed” is now open with
gated access. ·
The
landowner of S93 has livestock within an electric fenced area and has agreed
to allow usage of the snowmobile trail as long as the gates are reclosed and
the livestock are not disturbed ·
Signs are
posted on both ends of this section, reminding riders to reclose the gates
after passage.
=========================================================================== Trail usage misconduct is already
upsetting some land owners – posted 1/14/2010 Landowners or
land leasers are helping the snowmobile clubs and snowmobile riders by
granting us permission to use there land, in return most only ask to comply
with the Snowmobiling
rules and ethics of the trails Ø
We’re asking all snowmobilers to comply
with the rules and ethics of the trails. Also to help by asking violators to
please obey the rules and not give the landowner a reason to close their
section of the trail. Ø
Although the trails are not open due to
lack of snow and most of us haven’t even considered riding yet, the club has
been getting some bad reports about misuse. ·
Dirt bikes, ATVs, or any other wheeled
motor vehicles are prohibited from riding on the C9 corridor or secondary
trails unless the rider owns or leases the land they are riding on §
Dirt bikes have been traveling the trails
between RT 7 and the ·
4” or more of snow is needed to ride these
trails §
There should not be any riding unless
there is. This could do damaged to winter crops, landscape, and your
snowmobile. ·
Stay on the trail or stay home §
Our trails all exceed NYS requirements of
trail width, but early season riders tracks are well beyond staying between
the signs of marked trails or cutting across a wide sweeping turn. The areas
outside the marked trails are not authorized riding areas and could be a
destroying a winter planted crop, on some else’s property, or a hazardous
area. Please stay between the signs marking the trails. |
