Bedford County Studies ATV and UTV Trail Plan Backed by DCNR Grant

Bedford County officials are studying whether to add ATV and UTV recreational trails, a project that would move forward only if residents back it and if the county can find suitable land. The Bedford County Planning Commission, working with the county commissioners, plans to hold a series of public meetings to gauge local interest. Dates and locations have not been set. Grant Funds a Feasibility Study Planning director Stephanie Clevenstine said the planning office applied for a Department of Conservation and Natural Resources grant in 2024 and received up to $100,000 for a feasibility study in 2025. Part of that study involves working with area municipalities to find out what the public thinks and whether the county can support this kind of project. "We'll be looking at holding public meetings in the coming months to get a sense of if the public wants something like this. And then the municipalities would have to open their roads up to it," Clevenstine said. Finding Land Is a Major Obstacle A key hurdle is land. Because the county doesn't own any property, there is no obvious spot to build a trail, so officials are currently looking at state roads unless someone donates land.
