Sections of Two Roads on State Lands Reopened to ATVs
After an extensive review, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) reopened sections of two roads on state lands to all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). DEC has reopened a section of Hessel Road (also known as the Remington Truck Road) and a section of Wart Road (also known as Blood Truck Road) to ATVs. It was determined that the decision to reopen the sections was compatible with vehicle and traffic laws.
DEC has reopened sections of Hessel and Wart roads. Signs have been posted marking the reopened sections.
Both sections are located in the Winona State Forest, which is under DEC jurisdiction. The action allows the ATV trail system in Oswego County to connect to ATV trails in Jefferson County. DEC placed signs indicating that the sections have been reopened to ATV use and will work to ensure that riders are educated as to where these sections exist.
