Notice To Trail Riders
August 11, 2018 - Caution trail riders. All the signs on the Blue Trail East (Roxbury ATV trails) have been stolen. So if you ride there with our map be sure to follow the names of trails on the ATV signs and ride with a mapping app on your phone. We will be adding blue marks directly on the existing ATV trail signs WITH their permission. These will be a blue dot (about 2-3") on one corner. Intersections will have the # on the dot. It will take us a week to get this done. Sorry for the inconvenience. ~ERR Trail Committee |
