<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 7, 2011) On Friday, the state Department of Environmental Conservation filed court documents reopening a dispute involving an old road that runs between Lake Placid and Keene.  The controversial case involves a section of the route which is now used as part of the Jackrabbit ski trail. Green groups say the outcome of the dispute will set a precedent for how road-closures are handled throughout the Adirondack Park.  But as Chris Morris reports, snowmobile activists and town leaders say the case has already been settled.

<title>Sportsmen&apos;s rights advocate exits political stage</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/9215/20070508/sportsmen-apos-s-rights-advocate-exits-political-stage</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 8, 2007) One of the North Country’s most vocal leaders in local government stepped down unexpectedly last week.  Colton town supervisor Hank Ford was known for his combative style and ardent support for private land, snowmobilers, and ATV riders in the Adirondacks.  Ford was supervisor for almost 10 years.  He’s also the regional leader of the Conservative Party.  He says he resigned due to health problems and to spend more time with his two grandsons.  But Ford’s critics have speculated that the reason’s more than personal.  Ford took heat when Colton dropped its two-year-old veto of the state’s purchase of land owned by International Paper.  Two months later, Colton got a million dollar state grant to improve parks and athletic fields.  Some residents suggested the two were linked.  Ford told David sommerstein the town lifted the veto because Albany agreed to drop a challenge to Colton’s assessment of state land.

<title>Cranberry Lake feud over trail rights</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/8573/20070116/cranberry-lake-feud-over-trail-rights</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 16, 2007) Snowmobile riders have complained for years that their trail network in the north country is fragile.  It depends on a patchwork of agreements with local and state governments, as well as dozens of private landowners.  In the northern Adirondacks, a snowmobile club is feuding with hunters over a trail that crosses land leased by the Cranberry Lake Fish &amp; Game Club.  Sledders with the Cranberry Lake Mountaineers have used the route for years to reach the lake, but it was closed this season following a dispute over money.  Opposing club members Bill White and Tom Morley spoke about the simmering disagreement between the Fish &amp; Game Club and the Mountaineers Snowmobile Club.
