Pennsylvania Issues ATV Grants

Money For Trails, Equipment, Facilities

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources issued grants totaling $425,700 to three recipients in Pennsylvania for all-terrain vehicle trails, equipment and related facilities.

Funding is provided from ATV registrations.

“Using funds from ATV riders when they register their vehicles, these grants will help improve riding opportunities,” DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said. “ATV trails draw visitors and can have a positive economic impact on nearby communities.”

The grants by county are: Armstrong and Lawrence: Mines and Meadows LLC, $154,600, to prepare a plan to further develop the campground facility at the 870-acre Mines and Meadows ATV Park in New Beaver Township, Lawrence County and a trail study for the development of a 1,700-acre site in Brady’s Bend Township, Armstrong County.

Bradford: Athens Township, $185,100, for development of Round Top Park in Athens Township, including rehabilitation of about 4 miles of ATV trails and a trailhead, construction of a pavilion and comfort station, landscaping and other related site improvements.

Cambria and Indiana: Rock Run Recreation Inc., $86,000, to buy equipment to build and maintain about 140 miles of off-highway-vehicle trailsat Rock Run Recreation Area in Cambria and Indiana counties.
