Can you send a note out to OHC with a reminder about the Valley Parkway APT Construction. (the section west of Rt.21) The contractors building the APT said the past couple weeks they have come in to work and found hoof prints and manure in the construction area and even on the finished work that is ready for paving. Just a reminder that it is a "No Access Zone" and violators can and will be cited. Thanks for your help.
Please members, spread the word and DO NOT ride the area!

Lorain County OHC would like to thank Findley State Park for the opportunity to visit their campgrounds and trails again this year. Our members had a wonderful time riding the trails and camping. We are hoping the park will allow this to be a yearly event in the future.
Please see our "Photo Gallery" page for pictures of our members having a great time!
