Trail Mileage

Trail Mileage

Why do we need to report our trail mileage each year?

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources depends on organizations like the OHC to collect information on trail usage throughout the state. Our trail system is dependant on use, but if you keep it's use a secret by not telling the State of Ohio through this simple reporting mechanism, all trail riders suffer from less trail attention, and ultimately less funding.

Here are the statistics for Wood County OHC members and statewide OHC members trail mileage reported for 2002, 2003, and 2004:

	Wood County 2004 (56 reporting)	Wood County 2003 (51 reporting)	Statewide 2003 (958 reporting)	Statewide 2002
State Parks and Forest	12,162	13,242	222,563	256,420
Public and Private	4,979	4,658	75,072	95,197
Out of State	2,170	1,603	67,656	72,625
Total	19,311	19,503	365,291	424,242

2003 was the lowest reporting year since 1998, and the first time the numbers had not increased. Only 46 chapters out of 57 turned in mileage reports, with only 958 members out of 3,793. This works out to be a 24% reporting percentage rate! We need to make sure that everyone keeps track of miles ridden in 2005!
