Our main objective in forming our club was acquisition of more trail miles to ride on and safe and responsible operation of ATVs by all riders. To this end we have obtained approx. 45-50 miles of township roads in Fox and Jay townships. We are also involved with the Adopt a Highway Campaign, adopting 22 miles of the Boone's Mt. Road. Our "highway" is all back roads that are open to ATVs. We also have at least one club ride a year. This year's ride will be in the ANF. We are also a member of Paatv. For more info contact; Elk Co.
