Highland Lake Snowmobile and
Outdoor Recreation Club was officially formed in October of 2005 in an effort
from a group of snowmobile and other outdoor recreational enthusiasts to
create an interconnected series of joint use and connector trails that span
for hundreds of miles throughout the region. The concept entails the
enhanced utilization of the already established trail and road network of the
State Forest Lands and State Game Lands that presently encompass a major
portion of the Sullivan County, Northern Lycoming County, Northern Columbia
County, Lower Bradford County, North Western Luzerne County and Western
Wyoming County. These are the areas of interest for this vast network of
trails for our area. |

The club is in the process of
securing a grant from DCNR. This grant would help fund a major
feasibility study that would be completed by an engineering firm over the next
year. The firm will study and then report on the various aspects of
creating a multi-county/regional interconnected snowmobile and outdoor
recreation trail system. |

The vision for this trail system
is one where multiple groups of outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the many
splendors that our region has to offer. Whether you enjoy snowmobiling,
horseback riding, cross county skiing, mountain biking, ATVing, bird watching
and/or hiking, our club plans to bring the various state, country and locally
run governmental agencies and the private sector affiliates together
throughout our region in a conscientious effort to make this trail system a
reality. |

|
|
Economically speaking, the
creation of this multi-county/regional interconnected trail system should help
booster many of our current service related businesses and possibly stimulate
new business growth throughout our region. Being located within a close
proximity to or bordering this trail system may well prove to be a positive
for many business owners and private landowners. |
