Lewis County launches Winter Recreation Plan to enhance non-motorized trail access

GREIG & LYONSDALE- Lewis County has launched a Winter Recreation Plan, which is aimed to enhance winter leisure activities in the town of Greig and Lyonsdale.

Spearheaded by Lewis County Recreation, Forestry and Parks, and funded by an ADK SmartGrowth grant, this initiative will provide detailed, actionable recommendations for trail development, winter operations, maintenance, and wayfinding within the Commons Trail Area, while also serving as a framework for non-motorized winter recreation improvements across the county.

While the area is well known for its summer multiuse trails, this plan will focus on expanding non-motorized opportunities, ensuring that skiers, snowshoers, and other winter trail users have improved access and enhanced experiences.

The plan aims to:

• Identify winter-specific trail opportunities at the commons
• Assess trail uses and maintenance patterns
• Support and expand non-motorized winter recreation through:
• New & refined trail alignments
• Wayfinding improvements
• Access enhancements
