ABOUT US
Purpose & Goal
The Amwell Valley Trail Association (A.V.T.A.) was organized in 1985 by group of concerned residents who wanted to preserve our rural atmosphere and enjoying hiking, riding and cross country skiing.
We are a self-policing organization with rules of conduct to which our members must adhere. The basic premise of these rules is that the rights of the property owners who allow us to use their land must be respected.
We have established and maintain many miles of beautiful trails. We have found the majority of property owners we have contacted for permission to hike and ride look upon our Association and its aims favorably.
As a responsible organization, we are covered by a substantial General Liability policy for property damage and bodily injury caused by members on land where we have permission to ride and hike.
Membership is open to East Amwell residents and to those who board horses within the AVTA trail network. Membership dues are used to pay for insurance, tractor maintenance, trail signs, public relations, supplies, postage and legal fees.
The A.V.T.A. has an annual Fall Trail Pace Ride with all proceeds used to benefit our Scholarship Fund and donations to other not-for-profit organizations.
