Harlan County Reservoir Update
A group of NOHVA member riders wishing to become involved in off road activities around the Harlan County Reservoir area have formed a new club and have asked to become a new chapter of the Nebraska Off Highway Vehicle Association. On August 12th, area riders of south central Nebraska interested in supporting ATV trails and activities decided to form a club. Additionally, they voted to request to become a NOHVA chapter, and officers of the chapter were elected. The new club officers are Dennis Foster of Stanford is club President, Tim Hodge of Holdrege is club Vice President, and Susan Foster of Stanford is the club Secretary/Treasurer.
As stated in their letter to request to become a chapter, “Our purposes in forming this club are to support the sport of off-road riding in general and in our local area specifically, to meet regularly with a group of like-minded individuals, to promote the creation and maintenance of new riding areas, to organize special events and training for off-road riders, and to help educate the about the sport and to promote its acceptance among members of the public who are not currently riders.”
The NOHVA Board of Directors voted to accept the Harlan County Club as a chapter of NOHVA on August 14th.

Part of the membership fee that NOHVA members pay is refunded back to the chapter they designate to help fund their own projects.

If all goes well, we may be able to see new trails southwest of the dam open sometime next year. When completed, the new ATV and dirtbike park will be the largest park under the management of the US Army Corp of Engineers of Kansas and Nebraska. The local community is solidly behind the project, and are excited to see the new park open. So are we!
