State forest APV areas

This $125,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) will fund maintenance and improvements to four All-Terrain Vehicle (APV) areas managed by the Ohio Department of Forestry. The work to be accomplished includes routine maintenance such as grading, trail improvement, sign repair, and trailhead maintenance/improvements. The grant will also support some trail expansion by installing new trails, as well as the installation of new trailhead facilities like shelter houses, picnic areas, and restrooms. This funding will help the Ohio Department of Transportation, as the awardee, to maintain safe and accessible motorized recreational trails across the state's forestry lands.
