Board approves K64 snowmobile-trail resolution after local club presentation

The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution supporting a proposed K64 snowmobile trail after hearing from local club representatives.

Mike Hanson and Dan Young, speaking for the club, described a route that would run from D12 along 140 westward along K64, through private fields, into the Moville four-way stop and back toward Kingsley. Hanson said landowners had granted permission and the club carries liability insurance; the club emphasized trail marking and rider safety.

Supervisors asked practical questions about liability and safety; board members said establishing a specified trail made sense to reduce hazards and protect riders. A supervisor moved to adopt the resolution and a second followed; the board approved the resolution 5–0.

The club said it has been active “about 30 to 40 years” and previously operated in Moville. The resolution authorizes coordination with the county engineer and any necessary administrative steps to implement the trail route.

The board did not specify funding or an implementation timetable during the discussion; club leaders thanked the board after the vote.
