TrailPass WILL NOT be hosting the ATV Poker run at the Lake George Winter Carnval this year. ATV riding WILL be allowed out on the lake and on some of the village streets. Be sure to check with the Winter Carnival headquarters for a complete listing of streets that will be open. We will post news updates here as they trickle in. The village has many events planned and it appears that Mother Nature has blessed the Winter Carnival with good ice!!!  Have fun, be safe and DRESS WARM!!!

Trail Closures:

Many of you have been calling about the Lake George Trail (New York) at Mt. Kenyon. This trail has been closed for most of the summer due to safety concerns. It has been determined that we need to build a new trailhead that will give us better and easier access up the mountain. That being said....the Mt. Kenyon trail will remain closed for the remainder of the season. We will start construction of the new trailhead in early spring. The new trailhead will not be as steep, allowing more riders access to the mountain.

ATV Trails close........VMP (Virginia) has announced that it has been forced to close down the "woods trails" portion of their park. This closure is a direct result of the bad economy and the rising cost of the property lease. The MX track and the BMX portion of the park are still open and are thriving. For more information on this go to vmp-atv.com

As hunting season approaches it is imperative that you check our website to see if the trail that you are traveling to is open. Many of the trails and parks close for hunting and the times that they close vary from trail to trail. If you are not sure...."call before you haul"!!!
