Local ATV Trails

A local ATV club went in front of Fond du Lac County’s Park and Development Committee and said that they wanted to us the Eisenbahn Trail during the winter season.  The club wanted to do this last year, but failed because of a County Board Vote.  They think the idea failed last year because they think the Board didn’t understand the information they gave them.  The ATV club wants to use the trail only in the winter when the ground is frozen.  The club said that if there were to be any damage done to the trail that they would fix it. 

People in the local area are concerned because they are afraid people from surrounding states are going to come in and use the trail and not care about the damage they may do to  it as much as the those that live near it.  Some only want the trail to be used for skiing, hiking, and walking. 

I think ATVs should be able to use the trails.  They would have to respect everything and everyone that uses the trails just like everyone else would have to.  I think the hikers should let ATVers use the trails because there are no trails around here for ATVs to use.  If anyone wants to ATV they have to go up farther up north to do so.  I think there should be some sort of ATV trail in the area.
