This would truly devastate the North Country. We are senior citizens who “Ride The Wilds” and respect it. If there are problems, address them, but don’t take from the majority what a few do.

Closing the trails in the north country will devastate there economy. There should be more police or trail bosses to govern the trails. I have personally have ridden hundreds of miles with no signs of police or conservation officers. Instead of closing the trails, we should hire a few trail police.

We are sad to hear this. We have been spending most of our summers there to ride and support those towns. If the trails close, (please don't), we won't be back.

Atv riding has been an awesome way for my family and I to enjoy time together as well as longtime friendships,. Some friends have even purchased property in Berlin to be near the riding. To take that away would be devestating

Do not close the ATV trails. Many people in the north country depend on the tourism.

Stop punishing all for some people’s bad behavior. Riding is a great family activity.

Keep ATV trails open.... they are vital to our state economy
Do not close the trails but address the problems.
