topic pretty much sums it up.....

The trails are pretty good as you ride all the roads pretty much as as the snowmobile trails. The trails are mostly on the West side of route three. You can ride to youngs to get gas. Also have good mud areas too. Not sure as to when they open, I Loved riding the Banshee up there when I had it...

Check out the club web site in the link below and also you can check out an on line map.

Now that I can borrow my uncles quad to ride I'm going to try and ride the trails up there. Damn thing needs new tires though. Never ridden a quad on real trails before, just behind his house and on "trails" in my town.

The GNWR trails are a refreshing change from the rock trails that some of the southern NE trails have become. In most cases you will not need to use 4WD but on some of the steeper trails it is nice to have. Some muddy trails, some 'off road' trails, the roads (class 6?) that we know as 142, 146 and out towards Indian Stream in the winter are nice flat ATV 'trails' . A sport quad or 2WD quad like a Outlaw you can use pretty well there also. Gas is also available at Dorman's as well as Young's.

Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. The local businesses would appreciate your business too.

Anyplace to rent atvs in the pittsburg Area?

Closest I know of LL Cote in Errol.

Jared, what do you clasify as "trails" main street

thanks for all the info.
sounds nice, can't wait to get up there!

Hey ct_skidoo2,

Are you going to be able to make it for the club's opening day (Saturday, May 23, 2008)?

Mark

Hi OVR, our plan is to be in town for the holiday weekend. Hoping to bring the ATV's with us.

Great, after the ride on the trails and the cook out, bring your bathing suits and join us at the web central spa!

Mark

Haha nah. Trails in the woods that all loop to eachother and the state property in town.

Is there a trail that goes to the Buck Rub.....

Thanks OVR - might need it after that.



No. Would be cool if the trail system expanded though to some to other venues. You can grab lunch at Happy Corner if you want to ride your ATV there and hit the trails again.

Mark.... do you post the GNWR web updates in this forum as well? any word on the "Proposed Plan Revision"?
I wish I could make it to opening day but unfortunately I have to go on some cruise to Bermuda.

The only thing I know is, the "plan" has been approved and I don't have anything definite as to what that means as far as more access and trails. Stay tuned to the ATV club web site later this month for updates on what will be happening in P'burg this ATV season.

Mark

hey mark is there any atv trail access from dickson ln club house thanks ahead of time dave

Not for this year.

Mark

do they allow side by sides on those trails?

Yes side by sides are allowed on our trail system, there are a few chainsaw trails that are tight and almost un doable but I made it with the club's Rhino.

A Polaris RZR would be real fun on these trails. Wish I had one.!

I now have a used quad and am thinking of bringing it up north this year. Can you register at Youngs or Dubes or anywhere else right up there or does this have to be done through the state ahead of time?

Anyone know the cost to register?

I just looked on the clubs website and I either missed the information about my questions or its not there. I was surprised to see 3 wheelers are allowed - I have an old honda 110 3-wheeler the kids tinker around on that maybe I'll bring up also...

I registered mine at Youngs last year. I think out of state reg was $73.

I have found through my experience that not all places you can get a snowmobile reg from do the ATV's also.

http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/OHRV/ohrv_agent_list.htm

You can do it at Lemieux on your up to pittsburg.They have maps to.

For NH Residents $58, out of state $73. Remember if you want to ride before July 1, 2008 you must have a current 2007 NH ATV registration. Yes, you can register at Young's Store, but they don't have any of the 2007 stickers left so, you will need to mail in the registration form with your fee to F&G in Concord, NH if you want a 2007 registration to use before July 1st.

Mark

i imagine an on/off road bike with a street plate on its fair game?

absolutely not!

it needs to be registered for off road.

If it is powered it also must have three or more wheels to ride on the Pittsburg trails, at the landowners' request. i.e. no motorcycles or dirt bikes.

Mark

Granite state power also does reg. in Pittsburg.
Keith

hey mark or kieth can you ride dickson lane to scott rd out to the trail just cuorios as the house is right across from the club house and it would be alot easier than trailering thanks again for the info

Unfortunately not yet.

Mark

Unfortunately you can't Pittsburg PD will pick you up and it will also give the atv club a bad name and we don't need that. As far as the trail we have tried to get a trail through to beach RD. but Fish and Game own some of the land in there, they walked it with us and even though its a gravel road basically they told us they purchased it with a portion of federal money which prohibits atv use.
Keith

Thank you for the information! But that blows! Why not have the registrations renew at the beginning of the year. I suppose it doesn't matter for those that register each year but for a new person coming in I am not going to register now for one ride (memorial day weekend) when I won't be back up to ride again until the 4th of July.. Oh well. I should be hiking Memorial day weekend getting in touch with the black flies anyways..

But once again thank you for the information!

Yes it is not the way we would like it to be. We went through all this last year here on HCS. Until F&G decides to change the term of the registration we must live with it.

Mark

p.s. It will take a large amount of complaints before F&G will change, if EVER!

Once you get the cycle going though you are okay. If you register 4th of July week this year your good for opening day next year.

We'll also be back up 4th of July week - I think Wednesday - Sunday. Maybe we'll see you out there.

Well if there is one thing HCS is good at - it's complaining

Give em hell boys!

21 Days to Go. Hoping for sunny weather. Got my new Maxxis Bighorns on Outlander #2. We are ready!

I think I might use my uncles 300 xplorer for opening day.

hey, you want to hook up and ride?
i'm off opening day...

Yeah if I can borrow my uncles quad.

I have two.
you can borrow one of mine if you want.

Really? That would be awesome. What kind? I'm highly doubting he's going to let me borrow it for the mere fact that he just won't want me riding it not on our land.

YAMAHA 400 4X4 BIG BEAR OR HONDA 300EX

TAKE YOUR PICK!

I'd take the Yammi. I like 4x4's. Although I rode my friends 400EX last night and loved it. Rode it just like I ride my sled. Thing went pretty good. He just bought it last night and he freaked when I jumped it. Haha. If you don't have a trailer I'm sure mine would work.

trailer is not a problem. i have two of them as well, seems like i got two of everything. need to liquidate my stock of toys, too little space too many toys!


pm me when the time comes closer and we can work out the details.
the trails sound awesome up there, can't wait.........

That's a 3 day weekend too! We could ride Pittsburg saturday and try Stratford sunday.

All the north country should allow trail bikes. I ride with a large group of trail bikes, we all ride sleds up there in the winter, and are very frustrated with the fact that we cant ride our trail bikes up there in the summer.

6 more days!

5 days to go.

Weather is looking good.
