Members of the SSRTA
For the past couple years the Snow Shoe Rails to Trails has been working with DCNR to create a connection from Casanova Road to Gorton Crossing on the SSRT. We were alerted last evening that this connection will open Friday of Memorial Day Weekend through the last Sunday in September. This will allow atvs/utvs another 5 mile connection.
The discussions have pertained to driving atvs-utvs on Myers Run Road and Huckleberry Road to Casanova Road. This entire road will now be designated Myers Run Road. There is a small spur off of Myers Run Road that is still called Huckleberry Road but is not legal for atvs-utvs. So, stay on Myers Run Road.
The other part to this connection was getting a lease from the Snow Shoe Wilderness Association. The SSRT has done so with the approval of DCNR. So, the first one half mile of trail from Gorton Road or Gorton Crossing on the SSRT to Interstate 80 is the Snow Shoe Wilderness Associations property. SSRT will be installing a DCNR atv-utv sign at the Gorton Crossing and another sign adjacent to Interstate 80. DCNR will post Myers Run. Again, stay on designated Road or trail.
Mile Markers are being placed along Myers Run Road for everyones safety and locations. 25 MPH signs have been installed too. So, please respect the laws of the state and travel speed limits. Be respectful to other riders and trail partners. Cameras are installed as well as extra enforcement will be out on this new section. Counters are also in place to check how many people are using this route with atvs-utvs. Please wear your helmets.
The SSRT needs your support so we can continue working to create more trails and connections.
Thank you, SSRTA Executive Officers And Board Of Directors
