    NYS DEC Release:

    ATV event: The "SNIRT" snow and dirt off-road vehicle event takes place
    annually in Lewis County and draws approximately 8,000 participants using
    5,000 registered ATVs (all-terrain vehicles) to ride town and county roads
    legally designated for ATV use. The event benefits the local snowmobile club,
    "Sno-Pals."

    As in years past, Forest Rangers were assigned to protect State Land from
    illegal ATV use while providing public safety and emergency response. There
    are approximately 20,000 acres of state land and 40,000 acres of easements
    along the SNIRT trails. This year, additional roads were opened in the town of
    Greig for this event. Some of these roads are adjacent to Independence River
    Wild Forest Preserve within the Adirondack Park.

    Twelve Forest Rangers, six Lewis County Sheriffs Deputies, eight State Park
    Police, four DEC Environmental Conservation Officers, and four State
    Troopers were assigned to this event. Rangers issued 15 tickets for illegal
    operation on public lands, unauthorized motor vehicle use on state land,
    unregistered ATV, failure to wear a helmet, and uninsured operation of an ATV.
