You have gotten some good advice below, and some incorrect. I will throw my 2 cents worth in. In NY- snowmobile clubs recieve money from NYS which comes from a trail fund funded by a large surcharge on snowmobile registration fees.That may be what your neighbor means by "subsidized" by the state. The clubs will mark and maintain the trail,may want to build small bridge to cross creeks etc. and may groom the trail. In NYS it has been state law for years (NYS General Obligations Law) that you are NOT liable for accidents from non paying recreational use of your land. Additionally, the clubs carry insurance and can name you as " additional insured" if you allow access. If you are still considering dealing with them - here are my suggestions- Tell them you will try it for this year and see how it goes - if youre not happy they're out. Ask if the trail will be groomed and ask to see a trail map to try to get a handle on how much traffic will come through your property. There are main "corridor "trails and less heavily used secondary trails. If you are on a secondary trail you would probably see mostly local riders - if a main trail or on the way to a popular destination it may be busier.If you want them to stay in certain areas or out of certain areas(fenced pasture, near your home etc) make it clear and tell them to mark it . If you dont want ATV's make that clear. Most snowmobile clubs in this area do not allow ATVs on their trails as the ATVs can cause damage , and they dont want landowners to kick out the snowmobilers due to problems with ATV's. Hope this helps you decide. Where in CNY are you? If you let the snowmobile club in and your not too far away, I may even ride thru some day!JK
