Fixed my tire today and was wanting to check out my new AA suit. I thought what better way then hoping on my wheeler and running the snowmobile trails down the road from my house real quick. Well...it wasn't a good idea   and that's all I've got to say about that! So just in case any ATV owners don't know this...ATV are restricted on ALL snowmobile trails in the state of NH It's a crock of bull if you ask me but it is what it is. I wonder what or where the ATV registration fees go to? I'll have to email them and find out. |

Tom,
That is not true and if a warden told you that they should know better. There are several trails throughout the state that allow 4 wheelers even in the winter time. Down by me there is the Rockingham rail trail. In the winter time there is even more access than in the summer. Also Pawtuckawy state park in my back yard you can as well as most State parks in the winter.

That's exactly what I thought but I wasn't going to argue with him though, especially with his truck blocking my four wheeler. I figured the ride I was getting in the front seat of the town cruiser was much better than riding in the back ;D I had to park it the wheeler and bring my truck down to load it up  |

Atv's can go on snowmobile trails as long as it is a multi use trail system such as Rockingham. But in rockingham, even more access is granted for snowmobile only because of the impact on the environment. I just rode those trails the other day on a sled. So there are snowmobile only trails, but not every trail system is like that. Clough state park is multi-use all year long. Pawtuckaway is multi in the winter. There are tons more....

I totally agree with you guys on this one as well as Jim up at the shop. We can ride the trails as long as the trial isn't marked NO wheeled vehicles. I'm going to look into this some more even though I really don't ride the trails. Yes, I was out there last night but posted as to why. F&G was sitting at the fire station last night and I pulled right up next to him and waved. As I was looking for no traffic to cross the road, he pulled out and got me. Not even two minutes later Bill Simpson pulled up and joined the party ;D It was all good and F&G even offered to give me a ride to my truck. Bill ended up taking me up to the house to get my truck and he gave me his thoughts on the whole issue. I was in the wrong anyways seeing I drove my four wheeler down my street and another street to get to the trail system. When I talk to our local commissioner, I'll fill you guys in more. As for now, I do think I told wrong about ATV being restricted from all snowmobile trails and have no plans on testing the F&G officers polite warning he gave me  |

Yeah but he didn't catch me doing that  Bubba and Bill both have seen me before heading down the street getting gas when I plowed with it. They told me before I shouldn't be doing it but as long as I didn't make a habit of it, they would look the other way  |

Ken,
I believe you have it wrong. As of a couple years ago you can no longer ride an atv on any property unless you have written landowner permission of it is marked ATV's allowed. 5th paragraph down on the left of page 2 on the above link.
I can see them making you have permission but I believe that you could win the written permission part of it, just like with tree stands. If I as a land owner say you can ride on my property than F&G can go piss up a rope if they think they can make me give written permission.
