Piranha I have a question for ya I live in Nj.I have a friend who has a cabin in Glover,there are alot of dirt roads that maybe will lead to trails.If I bring my quad or bike up there will or do I need a motocycle license or insurance to be able to ride.Also what are the chances of the cops stopping any 1 up there in the boondocks.Ive only been there 1 for memorial day but it looked like graet riding area,alot of quads and 1 guy was riding his mx bike on the lake road and there seemd to be no cops.Could ya answer these questions for me please.

 

Hey Sugarhead,

I don't think that you need any type of license or anything to operate an ATV up here, but there are a lot of other little rules pertaining on where you can ride. 4 wheeler are "supposed" to be registered unless you are riding on your own land or have WRITTEN permission by the land owner. However since there aren't many trails here a lot of people don't even bother registering there quads anyway, but personally I think it is a good idea regardless. I'm also not sure of the Glover area. I don't imagine that there are many "cops", but you still find a lot of game warden's and constables in even the smallest of towns. If you are going to be with friends, then I'd say that they wouldn't lead you into any bad places. Sorry that I'm not much help, wish I knew more. Happy trails.

Haha, wild in that sense YES, all year round! I meant that it was wild in terms of mud in the spring. Either way, it's always interesting when you get up there.

 

Hey Shannon,

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that it was that cheap...$85/year is awesome. I'll talk to my buddies and see if they want to do that. If so we'll have to tag along with you are your crew. How do you go about getting registered up there? Do you do it at the Boarder or do you have to call somebody? Also, I see that you are from Winooski, do you know a guy by the name of Jody Decarreau? He's a friend of mine that lives in Winooski also. Anyway, thanks again for the info. Take care.

Hey Scavanau,
We ride just off from lake road across from lake arrowhead. my son and I use to ride in the sand pit across from the diner but they are starting to build there now and don't really want people to ride there any more. in the field on lake road and poor farm there are some trails that your son would love, pretty easy. we also ride in georga up to silver lake but thats getting hard to get in and out of also. up there you really need a 4x4 or you will be beating the snot out of your bike. anyhow we should hook up and ride some time.

 

Hey Grizz,

I just checked out the pics on your page, they look really good. Did you get my reply to your post above? Let me know when you plan to be in the area. Take care.

Hey Josh,
My buddy went up to check out his camp about 2 weeks ago and said that there is a ton of snow still. Hows it doing now? melting fast? Maybe in a couple of week we will head up there if you keep me posted on the snow. We went last year around may and the snow on top of the mountains was impassable and we all had 4x4s. we also rode with some guys that has a camp right across from edin pond just off from the bog road. that was a good time, lots of mud and water, untill I sunk my grizz going up a stream to a water fall. Had to be pulled out when my belt started to slip. would also like to try it up in canada some time, heard it was a blast. maybe tag along with scavanau this summer. I ride with about 5-10 bikes, mostly honda but that's okay, they make for good traction LOL.

 

Piranha, we pre-arrange to meet a trail director at his business for anyone who may need a pass. He rides with us whenever he can, his wife too. You need to be registered, have proof of insurance, working head and brake lights.

GreenMountnGrizz, what field are you talking about on Lake Rd.? Is there parking? On Lake Rd. about 4.5 miles from Rt. 7 I cut into a field. (that has some power lines in it) The field stops where a swamp begins, but look closely for an old town rd. that goes through the swamp into the woods and will bring you over to Hibberd Rd. Its got a few offshoots to other areas. Most terminate shortly. Some I haven't gone to the end of. When the weather gets warmer, I think I'll see whats going on in that sandy area. Maybe some quiet day I can go in and keep my distance from the builders.

vermontmagnum, did you go up to Canada with your cousin? Maybe you went on the last trip that I was unable to make?

When the date gets closer to our Canada ride, I'll try to post something on here. We normally meet around 8 a.m. in the Swanton Grand Union parking lot.
