Now there is a Large Parcel of Public Land about 30min. from me, that is open to riding. As long as your bike is reg. & Insured, NO PROBLEM. DEC patrols the property on Quads and DO NOT GIVE a hard time (Most of them ride Rec. ALSO)KDXruss said:This is good. I would be more than happy to register my bike if there were one riding area or a few trails to ride on in NY. Registering your bike is a good way of showing the state how many bikers there are. But I won't do anything until I see a trail system opened.
Sounds like they are very relaxed about riding there.Green Hornet said:Now there is a Large Parcel of Public Land about 30min. from me, that is open to riding.

Its Located next to Stewart Airport aka:Stewart Air Force Base, Newburgh, NY
FYI
Correct NADA, NOTHING, NYNE in the Appalachian Park system (thats me), but Adirondack park system, I do believe they have a system set up.KDXruss said:Sounds like they are very relaxed about riding there.
There is plenty of state forest land around my area but It's all ski and hiking trails. There is always a sign 'no motor vehicles'.
Correct me if I'm wrong but out of the entire Adirondack park there isn't one mile of trail for ATVs or bikes!
Lucky for me I belong to a club that owns private land and do not have to worry about getting tickets from the DEC.1swarty said:In New York State there are very few public riding area's. In northern NY there are ATV trails that allow bikes but I am not sure exactly where. There are private areas that allow camping and riding for a fee. Take a look at the Trailpass web site http://northeast.trailpass.com. The best trails are in Western PA in the Allegheny National Forest, they have about 100 miles of trail and allow camping, there is a trail fee. They do allow riding in Beartown St Pk in Mass but they will not let you ride with anything but a Mass plate, I had NY plate, valid ins and still not allowed. They check everyone in the parking lot. I just pulled the Mass tag off my buddies 4 wheeler and I was good to go. Great trails and worth the effort.
As for registering your bikes.In NY is illegal to ride a atv or motorcycle off of your own property without a registration and insurance. There are semi legal riding areas in upstate NY which has a fairly regular DEC presense and the ticket for no Reg/ins will cost you big $$$
