PUBLIC INPUT INVITED ON NEW OHV COMMUNITY CONNECTORS
LOWVILLE, NY – The Lewis County
Recreation, Forestry and Parks Department is seeking public input as it
works to expand the Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Trail System in the towns of
Watson, Glenfield, and Greig.
A public meeting
will be held on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the 3G Firehall,
6229 Blue Street, Glenfield. The meeting will focus on New York State
regulations regarding OHV Community Connectors and explore opportunities to
expand off-road trails in the region.

Director of the department, will be there to explain the trail development
process, review landowner agreements, and answer questions from the
community. Residents are encouraged to attend and share their
thoughts—whether they’re interested in offering land for trails, opening
roads in their area, or voicing concerns.
“This is a great
opportunity to build connections in the community while expanding outdoor
recreation in a way that’s safe, responsible, and respectful to
landowners,” said Mahoney. “I would love to hear from residents about trail
access ideas or concerns.”
