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
West Turin and Lewis.
A public meeting
will be held on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Tug Hill Hideaway, 1838 CR-47, West Leyden. The
meeting will focus on New York State regulations regarding OHV Community
Connectors and explore opportunities to expand off-road trails in the
region.
Jackie Mahoney,
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.”
If you are unable
to attend the meeting but would still like to participate in the
conversation, please contact Jackie Mahoney at (315) 376-5972, via email,
