Its looking like they are going to shut down ditch riding in Crow wing county. Your input is needed to help stop this. If you send a email or call, please show respect. We will probably be outnumbered by the antis..but we have an oppurtunity to change their minds.

The Crow Wing County Board of Commissioners is hosting two
public informational meetings regarding the proposed
ordinance to BAN the use of ATVs in County Road
Right-of-Ways (ditch use) in Crow Wing County.

If you ride in these areas and want to continue to ride in
these areas it is CRITICAL that you attend these meetings.
If you cannot attend then PLEASE send in written comments
to the commissioners and highway department (contact
information below). The commissioners need to hear from
the ATV riders; how it affects you and the business’s in
this county.
