The Lewis County Recreation, Forestry & Parks Department has stopped selling ATV trail permits in person at its office, a change that took effect immediately after officials announced it on October 20, 2026. Riders who want a permit now have to buy online or stop at one of the participating local vendors spread across the county. No More Over the Counter Sales in Lowville The office in Lowville no longer handles over the counter permit sales at all. If you planned to drive to the Recreation, Forestry & Parks office at 7356 East Road to pick up a permit the way you may have in past seasons, that option is gone. The department says the goal is to streamline daily operations while still serving local residents and visitors. How Riders Can Buy a Permit Now For riders, the practical answer is to plan ahead. You can complete the purchase through the official Lewis County website, or you can buy from a vendor near where you ride. The list of participating vendors covers much of the county's trail country, so there is likely one close to your usual staging area. The vendors selling ATV trail permits are: Brantingham Station, 5508 Partridgeville
