OHV Connector Public Input Event Press Release
Posted Tuesday June 3rd, 2025
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.
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, or by completing the interest form at: https://www.jotform.com/230894060953056.
