Reminder: Motorized vehicles (gas or electric) are strictly prohibited on all town-owned land and ACC trails.

Please be aware that operating ATVs, dirt bikes, and electric motorbikes on town open spaces is illegal. We are currently experiencing a sudden, significant increase in complaints and seeing visible trail damage and safety concerns caused by these vehicles. Per town ordinance, it is the official policy to pursue enforcement action against the anyone, including parents or legal guardians of minors, who violate these rules. Violations carry fines of up to $1,000.00, and the town may actively seek civil damages and full financial restitution for the cost of trail repairs. You can review the town’s official ordinance in the link below.

Amherst is incredibly fortunate to have an extensive network of open spaces. We truly strive to accommodate as many recreational activities as possible, including hiking, trail running, and mountain biking. We appreciate your cooperation and help in keeping our conservation lands protected, safe and enjoyable for everyone.
