The land I live on connects from the Steel hill area in Sanbornton and then crosses my yard and straight into the lake, its actually a nice spot to intersect and decide where your going. But, it gets destroyed each year by the snow mobile trails and people who feel the need to rip a few donuts on my neighbors front lawn.
I easily pick up 1-2 bags of trash each spring. Is it enough for me to complain and force a reroute? No but I'm sure in another 10 years I might be fed up. I know my neighbor already is by the signs he posts pleading to respect his property line. Not really looking to make a point here just saying I can totally see why people shut down the access to their properties.

As the president of the Moultonboro snowmobile club, I first thank you for allowing a trail on your property!
Secondly, I suggest that you speak with your local club to help mitigate the issues you have had. I can assure you that they would rather fix a problem than have to re-route! We go out to landowners with issues at least a half dozen times a year. Often we put more signs, more firmly worded signs or snow fence or rope up. I meet annually with some landowners to address how the previous year went. I guess my point is that we want our landowners to be happy to have the trail on their property, not just tolerate it!
