Thanks for the post gollwoods. Talk of this can also be found on backpackohio.com. This would be the first time ATV use would be allowed within state park boundaries, and a shame. Anyone who has hiked the trails in Ohio that have been ruined by illegal ATV use already knows this!.
If you hike in Ohio, please sign this petition!

is there any legal ATV areas that are close by to this area?

will the ATVs share the same trail as hikers?

are mountain bikes currently allowed?


just wondering....


the trails here(sam houston national forest) have seperate trails for hikers and OHV, which, I think works out great for everyone.



Personally, if I wanted finely groomed easy to walk on trails, I'd stick to the dirt path around my neighborhood... at the same time it can be dangerous hiking alongside irresponsible riders on their 400+lb ATVs. Sucks for the responsible ones when a riding area is closed or banned for a certain group because of another groups preferences or an idiot or two ruined it for the rest. (you might be able to tell I'm a OHV rider...)
