Nov 14, 2022 12:23 pm

Noah Zweifel reports for the Altamont Enterprise that the Albany County Sheriff’s Office approves of a trail network for all-terrain vehicles administered by the Hilltown Riders. The Town of Berne will hold a public hearing on the proposal next year. The Hilltown Riders are a private club for all-terrain vehicle riders that leases land from Camp Pinnacle, in New Scotland for riding. Commander Tom Praisner of the sheriff’s office said, “I just want to make sure that everyone out there is having fun, they’re registered, hopefully insured, and they wear their helmet.” Praisner also said officers would carry out more patrols in the town if the ATV trail was approved. The public hearing on the issue will likely be held in January. Read more about this story in the Altamont Enterprise.
