MARYLAND'S ST. JOHN'S ROCK ORV TRAIL OPENED
T
he 12-mile St. John's Rock ORV Trail opened in July in Maryland's Savage River State Forest, com-
pleting a six-year collaborative effort between off-road vehicle riders and the state Department of
Natural Resources.
The AMA, the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council and the Maryland Off-Highway
Vehicle Alliance worked with state officials to get the $1.35 million project completed. The new trail has
been in the works since 2011, when the state permanently closed three popular motorized trails: the
Green Ridge Trail at Green Ridge State Forest; Chandler Trail at Pocomoke State Forest; and Poplar
Lick Trail at Savage River State Forest. State DNR secretary Mark Belton, who attended the trail open-
ing, said the teamwork on the St. John's Rock trail will serve as a model for future trail construction. CN
