Hey there,
Just wondering if anyone rides any trails in erie and if they'd want to get together some time. I'm about an hour out, but I'd make the trip.
Thanks,

Allegheny would be a great place to find out about as well..... You know I was looking at NY State's State Park Web Site and they actually have a few people dedicated to trails for off road vehicles and they were seperate from atv and motor cross....

Maybe we should give them a call to see what our tax dollars are getting us, i am sure that they are not volunteers. :-)

There are delegates to four wheel drive trails.....in NY, sorry i forgot this was the erie thread.

But before i go i did want to mention that i went as far as reading the minutes from the last ny state parks/trails meeting and the highlighted sport that they said was the fastest growing sport in north america was....... Drum roll please!

Pickle Ball!

Looks like we have some work to do in NY!

Years ago I would go behind the Home Depot near Summit shopping center. Muddy deep holes multiple stream crossings. Than again it's was 1992 since I last was there. Also try Google earth and look for trails coming from I-79 heading south. I remember hitting a number of trails between Erie and Meadville.
