install new signage throughout the Ride the Wilds™ trail system.
Supported by a $100,000 donation from the Polaris Foundation, one
thousand new signs are slated for install in preparation for the
upcoming 2019 ATV and off-highway vehicle (OHRV) season.

“A partnership with North Country’s Ride the Wilds trail system
allows us to help promote a fun, safe and memorable experience for
our riders,” said Lucy Clark Dougherty, president of the Polaris
Foundation.
As an economic driver for Coos County New Hampshire, these
trails provide much-needed tourism and recreation in the area. The
funding is part of a larger effort to keep riders safe and ensure
nearby communities and private properties are respected. Adding to
the $1.3 million investment collectively made by North Country
Alliance members over the years, this new funding will help
maintain this iconic, interconnected trail system.
“The success of the trail system has stimulated a tremendous
influx of visitors to our communities. We are encouraged by the
support from our communities and are committed to fostering the
sport by remaining diligent in responding to the desires of our
neighbors and visitors,” said Corrine Rober, owner of Polaris
Adventures Certified Outfitter, Bear Rock Adventures and marketing
chair for North Country Chamber of Commerce. “Working with local
clubs has been a great opportunity to address community-wide
interests and this alliance has certainly risen to the
occasion.”
The North Country Alliance is made up of six local organizations
including Bear Rock Adventures, Great Northwoods Riders ATV Club,
Metallak ATV Club, Millsfield ATV Club, The North Country Chamber
of Commerce and Umbagog ATV Club.
Local communities can expect to see this new signage in the
upcoming months. Communities benefitting from the new signage
include Clarksville, N.H.; Colebrook, N.H.; Columbia, N.H.;
Dixville Notch, N.H.; Errol, N.H.; Millsfield, N.H.; Pittsburg,
N.H.; West Stewartstown, N.H.; Averill, Vt.; Beecher Falls, Vt.;
Canaan, Vt. and Lemington Vt.
“We are excited to continue working on this initiative that will
enhance the overall quality of the trails and positively impact the
OHRV community and North Country residents alike,” said Jodi
Gilbert, Executive Director of the North Country Chamber of
Commerce.
