I was asked this question recently when I meet the engineer that is working on the management plan for Jericho Mtn Park.

With enough trails for moderately built rigs, 33-35s tires, to ride 2 days without wheeling the same trails. I said I would pay $20 a day, but would pose this question to others....

BTW there would be a beach, camping area, and picnic area here.....as far as camping I think there would be a seperate rate for that.

I pay over $50 a day to go skiing or to an amusement park
I see this as no different and would pay up to $50 a day if it was good.

I would also seriously consider buying a season pass for a couple hundred bucks.

I think amusement parks charge too much, and I'm poor as poop. I voted for a little less.
I'd prefer to see them charge more than my vote, but have discounts available to area club members.

After all this is a for profit business. It is way up north. The distance might restrict members to once a year use. For some of our members it is the same distance as Paragon. Their higest expense will be liability insurance.

It is not a profit for business, this would be a State Park with access fees helping to pay for the cost of buying the land

Ok then with that said. NH residents pay $10 less than out of stste residents. It stinks to punish people from states that will go have public lands for 4x4 use. It would be the same setup at the out of state OHRV sticker program.

don't shoot me for this but to be fair I believe NH residents should pay less since it's in thier state that being said where I'm from MA. I'd pay $ 30 a day as long as they had trails that are easy to moderate ( for say a stocker) & not all extreme stuff
work sucks...I'm going wheelin

I would not have a problem with a season pass if the trails were extensive enough.

Not sure how extensive a network WOULD be, after all this is not guarenteed.

As far as tax dollars, this was purchased using ATV & trail bike registrations, NOT TAXES

That is why they only have to let ATVs and bikes in to use the land. This should help the local ecomony some. They are going to lose big tax dollars soon with the loss of Fraser Paper last year.

The daily user would increase the revenue to the park to help pay outstanding loans for the purchase of the property. The park must allow non-motorized use and there is alreadsy a cross country ski trail across the property

That is fine. I doubt the hikers will want to hike with motorized users.

I'd pay $50/day as well for awesome trails (35"+). I think a season pass is nice too. I also think NH residents should pay less. It's the same when I register my quad and is plenty fair.

I'd be willing to pay for the season pass since that seems like the best option if the trails and provisions are as stated so far.

I think there should be some kind of break for families who have more than one vehicle that would be using the trail. In other words that pass should be good for the whole family and not just one member and one vehicle. Or they could do $250 for the season pass for a multi-vehicle family.

considering it is $60 for two days at paragon, I would be willing to pay that much for something closer, but I voted $30 for a weekend cause I am a cheap bastard!
