What's happening?

Your support is needed on a petition to allow snowmobiling at Chenango Valley State Park near Binghamton. We recommend everyone to sign the e-petition to support this effort.

A proposal has been made by Mr. Michael Boyle, Park Manager at Chenango Valley State Park, to invite a local snowmobile club - the BC Sno-Riders - to enhance existing trails and mark designated trails for snowmobile use within the Park to allow for slow speed use (<25MPH) during the winter months.

There is some opposition and we must show that they have strong support for this public access that will benefit many people who will enjoy the trails including snowmobilers.

What's the impact?

Because of the vast acreage (1,000+) at Chenango Valley State Park near Binghamton, NY, we are in support of Mr. Boyle's proposal to allow snowmobiling on previously existent double-track trails and the limited development of new trails to allow ingress and egress from the Park to the NYS Snowmobile Trail System.

The development of a semi-closed loop system within the Park will provide the opportunity for new riders to enjoy a safe, moderately easy area to learn how to operate their snowmobiles as well as a launch point for experienced riders who want to venture outside the Park onto the NYS Snowmobile Trail System.

They plan to submit the petition to Mr. Dan Keefe at NYS Parks by December 31, 2008 so your signature in support of this plan would be appreciated.
