May 2026 ATV Round Table

The Lewis County ATV Round Table meeting held on May 19, 2026, focused primarily on ATV trail maintenance, permit sales, and membership issues. Discussions included the current status of trail openings and closures, challenges with trail damage due to heavy vehicle use, and the need for additional river crossings. The group deliberated on streamlining the ATV permit and membership process, including potential standardization of membership fees across clubs and simplifying permit sales through direct email notifications. Financial figures were shared, noting over $232,000 in membership revenue last year and approximately 3,700 permits sold. The meeting also addressed enforcement challenges, proposed fee increases for permits and passes, and the importance of mandatory permits for riders. No formal resolutions were made, but plans for upcoming meetings and continued collaboration on trail maintenance and permit processes were discussed.
