We believe that snowmobiling at Chenango Valley State Park will be a high impact to the tranquility of the park and and would be out of character with the natural setting the park offers. Snowmobiling would be a detriment and potential danger to wildlife and those doing low-impact winter activities such as cross-country skiing, snow shoeing and hiking. Unplowed roads are more appropriate for snowmobiles than the existing hiking and bike trails in the park. We feel the park is not large enough to accomodate snowmobiles without a serious loss of enjoyment by those who currently use it during winter in a low impact way today.
I honestly never thought five hundred people would agree with me on this park issue. Your passion for keeping Chenango Valley quiet is the only reason this has gained any traction at all.

I truly never imagined one hundred people would feel this strongly about protecting our park. This is entirely because of the community choosing to get involved. I am just a person who loves these trails and I am honored to walk alongside you all.

Totally agree. It is just not safe for the skiers or the deer. Bad move.

Keep the park for the people who want to walk and enjoy the quiet. Snowmobiles are way too loud and ruin the whole point of going out into nature.

Keep the park peaceful! There are plenty of other places for snowmobilers to go that wont ruin it for everyone else.

Ridiculous idea. Go find a trail meant for engines and leave our local park alone.

The noise pollution alone is enough to kill the vibe. CV is for relaxing, not racing.

My kids like to snowshoe there and it would be a nightmare with machines flying around. Please leave it how it is.
