Feds Rule Winter OHRV Use of Rail Trails Not Permitted
03/03/08

( Concord , NH ) The Division of Parks and Recreation, Bureau of Trails announces that due to a ruling from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), winter use by wheeled Off Highway Recreational Vehicles (OHRV) on the following State owned recreational rail trails is now prohibited effective immediately:

· Conway Branch (Ossipee-Conway)

· Northern (Boscawen-Lebanon)

· Farmington (Farmington-Rochester)

· Cheshire (North Walpole-Fitzwilliam)

· Ashuelot (Keene-Winchester)

· Fort Hill ( Hinsdale )

· Monadnock (Jaffrey-MA state line)

· Manchester/Lawrence (Salem-Windham)



The recreational management practice allowing wheeled OHRV on these trails in the winter came into question following legislative changes in 2006. DRED asked the FHWA for clarification on the appropriate use related to the federal funds used to purchase these corridors. The State requested a waiver citing current use. The FHWA responded that this use is not consistent with the intent of these purchases. The Bureau of Trails intends to comply with the FHWA immediately and will be posting new signs indicating the revised designated use over the next week. All local law enforcement agencies will be notified of this change.

The Bureau of Trails is a part of the NH Division of Parks & Recreation. The Division manages 70 state parks, thousands of miles of trails, campgrounds, historic sites and natural waysides and is part of the Department of Resources and Economic Development.
