The McKean Snow Riders Snowmobile Club will use a $115,000 grant to purchase a trail groomer and drag for their portion of recreational trails in Erie County.

The grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Natural Resources comes through the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, the Environmental Stewardship Fund and federal sources.

The Snow Riders’ trail system is comprised of many segments of private property and connecting dual-use snowmobile roads that interconnect five townships and link to two other clubs’ trails in Erie County.

Erie County ranks first in Pennsylvania with more than 2,300 registered snowmobiles.
