Freedom Cycle and Annual Meeting
The NHOHVA Safety Trailer attended the Freedom Cycle Open
house that on May 31, 2008.
The event was well attended and had great weather.
The safety trailer made some great contacts with the Meat House and
MeadowBrook US Cellular Pavilion, both would like to have the NHOHVA
Safety Trailer and Display at their upcoming events.
Thanks to Freedom Cycle for having us at the event and continuing to
be a great supporter of NHOHVA Safety. They let us use a brand new
Can Am 90 for our display on both Saturday and Sunday at our annual
meeting.
This is a link to the pictures from Saturday at Freedom Cycle.

On Sunday we had our annual meeting, the NHOHVA Safety Trailer and
Display was in attendance. We displayed materials from the 2008
NOHVCC Conference in Mew Mexico and was able to show the display to
the local police chief and sergeant. They were impressed with the
display and appreciative of the safety materials.
Thanks to New Durham ATV Club for hosting the meeting cooking lunch
and great trails for the ride. The food was great!
These are pictures from the meeting.

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. For
more information about trails in NH state parks, please call
