Put Your Gasoline Tax to Work for Better Trails
Fixitmatt,
I am not completely familiar with the allocation of monies in New Jersey, but thought I would at least give you a couple of links that address the Recreational Trails Program in NJ.

Sorry that I couldn't give you more.

No they have not released that info yet because it is not on the ajenda to 2005. but they will have to find the land and either lease or buy it to make it perment. I have thought of setting up an atv park. I know of 700 acers in Mid nh. if i had moey i would try. One in maine would be possable if some on could talk to the maine paper companys to let someone build a copy of hatfield macoy. more land here to do it with too.

blakey I am attempting to set one up in Maine, can't say much now but it is a nice area with a fair amount of land. Mid NH would be a good spot if the price is right. I assume you ride the power lines in Wells? Ever ride in Genest (New Dam) pit before they closed it?

Hatfield-McCoy - Trails Heaven) Over 400 Miles of trails (more in progress)

They are planning to build 7000 new miles of trails to add to the 2200 we allready have. It still doen't compare to our snow mobile trails that have 12000 miles . But they also have the advantage of frozzen lakes to add some miles.

erskr1,
I did miss the numbers till I got the Task Force report, I was more interested in the locale of the trails in general. You are right that it is more than the Hatfield trails but they seem to have a good model that Maine may want to incorporate.
Just pulled the o'l Maine Atlas out and I checked out your area, looks like it is a sweet riding area......

As we the ATV Clubs Clear the Trails in the Spring/Summer we Help the Snowmobile Club and saves them some Money for Larger Projects. Like New Larger Bridges Over Streams, Brooks and Even Rivers.
I Belong to Both the ATV and Snowmobile Club and I am the Grooming Contractor for the New Trail from Eustis to Canada. While Constructing our New Trail we Made Sure Both Clubs got the Benefits... Like Installing Culverts and Water Bar for Summer Riding. We also Built Permanent Bridge Instead of the Old Loss them in the Spring Ice Bridges. The N. Bridge is 171ft the S. Bridge is a 121ft Clear Span and a Couple of Smaller 21 & 25 Footer's

Neat Note... Plumb Creek (State Wide) Allows you to Ride on their Land... No Permit.. Just Stay off the Active Logging Roads... Speak to Your Local Warden, he will give you the Active Logging Roads..
