[American Motorcyclist Association] - Wayne National Forest prepares to open trails f

The following is an industry press release...

NELSONVILLE, Ohio (April 7, 2015) – The Wayne National Forest in southeastern Ohio announces that Wednesday, April 15, is the opening day for more than four-hundred miles of designated trails, which includes motorized, horse, mountain bike, and hiking trails.

Motorized trail riding continues to be one of the most popular recreation activities on the Wayne National Forest. The Forest has 148 miles of motorized trails, the largest trail system of its kind in Ohio. In 2014, more than 8,000 trail permits were sold. A large majority of permits sold were to motorized trail riders. Based on 2014 trail permits sales, it is estimated that the Wayne National Forest motorized trail system receives 20,000 to 30,000 visits annually from motorized trail use.

In addition to motorized trails, it’s also opening day for more than 83 miles of horseback and 107 miles of mountain bike trails. More than 106 miles of designated hiking trails are open year-round. Other recreation areas, such as campgrounds and picnic areas will also be opened.

Trail permits are required and are available online or at several participating vendors.

The U.S. Forest Service is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a mission of sustaining the health, diversity and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. The Forest Service’s Eastern Region includes twenty states in the Midwest and East, stretching from Maine, to Maryland, to Missouri, to Minnesota. There are 17 national forests and one national tallgrass prairie in the Eastern Region. For more information, visit www.fs.usda.gov/R9.

The U.S. Forest Service manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world. Public lands the Forest Service manages contribute more than $13 billion to the economy each year through visitor spending alone. Those same lands provide 20 percent of the nation’s clean water supply, a value estimated at $7.2 billion per year. The agency has either a direct or indirect role in stewardship of about 80 percent of the 850 million forested acres within the U.S., of which 100 million acres are urban forests where most Americans live.
