STARK — A revised proposal for a Southern Connector OHRV Trail on Nash Stream State Forest is on hold because it lacks permission from one private landowner on the route.
ATV groups have been working for several years to connect the existing West Side Trail at Nash Stream to the Percy Gas Station in Stark, allowing riders traveling from North Stratford to make a quick detour off the trail to get gas.
