 The
Adirondack ATV Riders Club, Inc. is proud to be
a land owner in St. Lawrence county. They have recently
purchased 230 acres in the Town of Pitcairn, two
miles past of Harrisville, NY on Rt. 3. It is their
intention to create an ATV recreation park with
a trailhead, campsites, clubhouse, drag racing track
and rodeo track, among other things.
This year they will sponsor their Fifth Annual
Adirondack ATV Rodeo on August 11 at their own park
and they are pleased to announce a new event, ATV
Drag Racing on June 9. They hope that these events
will bring a great deal of enjoyment to the area
residents as well as attract many attendees from
other areas. In the past, their rodeo has been a
big hit with attendance rising sharply each year.
Adirondack ATV Riders Club Inc. was formed in
1996 for the purpose of promoting the sport of ATVing
through safe training, public awareness and respect
for the environment. They are a family oriented
group that enjoys riding ATV's an having fun, with
a further goal of promoting user cooperation (such
as "shared trails") with other outdoor and environmentally
aware people.
It is the club's mission to create a state-wide
forum of open communication with ATV enthusiasts
and the public. This partnership will help them
to raise the public image of the sport, as well
as establish a statewide trail system and open new
riding areas.
The club sends out a quarterly newsletter and
they hold monthly meetings every second Thursday
of the month, except November. Each year they set
up a calendar of events with many camp and ride
weekends scheduled as well as their Annual ATV Rodeo.
This year they are adding ATV Drag Races. Many times
they join other ATV clubs at their location or invite
them to ride with them at theirs. All members must
wear helmets at club sponsored rides and all ATVs
are required to be registered and insured. Club
dues are payable each year in January and range
in price from $15.00 to $40.00. Anyone interested
in becoming a member please contact Deb Rose at
