Description
The Snowmobile Grant Program, administered by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), provides financial assistance to local government sponsors (counties, towns, villages) for the development and maintenance of snowmobile trails that are part of the officially recognized State Snowmobile Trail System. Funding is intended to ensure safe, high-quality, and interconnected snowmobile trails across New York State, promoting recreation, tourism, and safe trail use. The program operates on an annual cycle and is structured into three distinct phases: trail approval (Phase I), application for funding (Phase II), and final reporting/closeout (Phase III).
