Camp owners to get more ATV and snowmobile access
ATV and snowmobile enthusiasts who own cabins in neighboring counties may find themselves with more access to trails.
The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announced Tuesday that nearly $1 million in new grant funding is being disbursed for all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile facilities and trails across the state.
Central Mountains ATV Association will receive $89,200 for purchase of equipment to maintain and construct about 300 miles of association trail system in Forest, Warren, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Jefferson and other counties.
Marienville Trail Riders Snowmobiling Club will get $53,400 for purchase of equipment to maintain and construct about 150 miles of snowmobile trails in the Allegheny National Forest and Jenks Township, Forest County.
Snowmobiles and ATVs must have a registration issued by DCNR.
Statewide, Pennsylvania has nearly 38,000 active snowmobiles registered and nearly 275,000 ATVs. Grant funding is provided through these registrations.
