NEW OHV PARK OPENS NEAR OMAHA, NEBRASKA
(Press Release from American Motorcyclist Association)
May 17 - Thanks to the hard work of a group of dedicated enthusiasts, there's a new off-highway motorcycle and ATV riding park in the Omaha, Nebraska, area.
Actually, the new 350-acre River Valley OHV Park is at 4300 South Omaha Bridge Road in Council Bluffs, Iowa, just across the Missouri River from Omaha.
The facility is open to the public and provides a place for ATV and off-road motorcycle enthusiasts to have fun from 7 a.m. to dusk.
All OHVs must have an off-highway registration sticker from your home state. If your home state doesn't have an OHV sticker program, then you will be required to get a sticker from the state of Iowa to ride in the park.
By law, any OHV registered in Iowa must have a title. The one-time titling fee, if needed, is $10 and the OHV registration fee is $26 for two years. Of that, $1 goes to the County Recorders Office for administrative costs, and $25 goes to the Iowa OHV fund, which helped pay for the park.
The Pottawattamie County Recorder's Office handles OHV registration if you live in Nebraska, or the recorder's office of your county if you live in Iowa.
Nobody under age 12 may ride an ATV in the park, and those under 18 must have completed an approved safety-training course. There are no age or safety-training course restrictions for those riding off-road motorcycles.
The original idea for a new OHV riding area came from a group of people in the Omaha area, but the state of Nebraska wasn't very cooperative. So the group formed an Iowa nonprofit organization called the River Valley Trail Riders, and worked with Iowa state and city officials who were more receptive to the idea.
Among the groups the River Valley Trail Riders worked with were the Iowa Off Highway Vehicle Association, the Nebraska Off Highway Vehicle Association, the National Off Highway Vehicle Conservation Council, the city of Council Bluffs and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The new park is owned by the state of Iowa and leased to the city of Council Bluffs, which, in turn, leases the facility to the River Valley Trail Riders.
The enthusiasts also got more than $200,000 in state and federal grants for the program, and group members provided a lot of labor.
