Bmac Vasa Trails are looking good, weather is going to be great on Monday! Shine up your ATV's and come join us in the West Rutland Memorial Day parade. After the parade, head to the BMAC Trailhead just minutes away, for a great day of riding.

West Rutland Memorial Day Parade

The West Rutland Memorial Day Parade is Monday May 30th and we have been asked to ride in it as an ATV club. The Town of West Rutland gave us signed permission for their Clark Hill and Town forest trail, please join us in boosting their parade a little and show our responsible ATV rider club.
You must wear a helmet. Clean and shine up your machines, decorate with flags, red/white/blue materials. If you like, make up some type of "float" to have on a small trailer behind your ATV.
Meet by 9:00 am at the latest to setup your machines behind the West Rutland High School. There will be a short ceremony at 9:30 am and then the parade will start at 10:00 am, and it will take about 1/2 hour.
Please join us in honoring our Military. Let us know if you need help with decorating ideas.

BMAC Trailhead hand wash station

It's a container that was used for gathering sap. It would be hauled on a wagon through the sugar bush and the sap buckets would be dumped into it. Now it has a modern day use, to provide water for hand washing at the Trailhead.

Rescue training drill with surrounding areas EMS, F&R, this Sat. May 14 8:00 am. ATV's, side x side needed to transport rescue personal to scenes of different rescue scenarios. This is a hands on drill, to train how you may be of help in a...n emergency situation off road.
