Mother Nature has struck yet again.

The OHRV trails in the Hopkinton-Everett OHRV riding areas are once again flooded to the same height as last year's Mother's Day flood.

In an effort to salvage the 120' bridge over Stark Pond, MVTR recently performed a rescue operation with the permission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to tow the bridge back roughly into place to have some chance of saving our investment.

Needless to say, the incredible volunteer effort put forth last year will
once again be needed once the flood waters receed.

If you are interested in giving back to the park that we all enjoy,
email    mvtr@comcast.net    and we will notify you of when we are
starting the efforts to reopen our trails.
