Doesn't sound like there is anything in it for you. Them fixing up the trail doesn't sound like much help to you.
You will loose some of your privacy and peace and quiet.
If someone gets hurt, you will get dragged into it. No ifs, ands, or buts about it! There is no waiver or lease or anything else that will prevent this. Even if they have ins. a plaintiffs lawyer drags in everyone. Now you may eventually be dismissed, but not after having to get a lawyer and spend some money and worry.
Like others have said it's easier to say no up front.

It's your decision but I think you are not getting a fair sample.
First off you're not liable, someone from NY confirmed that.
Second, you will get some wise guys. Same thing on as on the road. The good people greatly outnumber the bad.
If it's not that close to your house you will never hear them. At my parents place the trail goes through an open field probably about 100 yard from their house, most sled you don't even hear go by.
My place they go tough the woods probably 300 yards away and unless you are out side and listening you can hear them. The snow eats up so much of the noise.
If you are looking for something out of it besides you woods road maintained, then no it's not for you. In my town I can't believe how many land owners tell us how much they like having the trails around. They like to walk them, use them for hunting or what have you. But no, there's no direct kick backs.
I also find it funny that around here most clubs were created and driven by farmers who had some extra time in the winter. Heck up north a lot of the groomer operators are retired farmers. It's interesting to see how many folks here are so dead set against it.
Like I said it's your choice but I want you to have the complete story, not just the "no way, never" with out a real good explanation.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show.
