Snowmobile clubs
There are a lot of reasons to join a club, from meeting friendly new riders to getting insider info on trails to saving money on your state registration! New York state requires any out-of-state sled to carry NYS registration and insurance, but proof of membership in a NYS Snowmobile Club results in a $50 discount on registration. Club membership is your gateway to finding fun rides, special events, and even ways to give back to the trails.
Choose your loop!
Try out the Piseco Lake Loop, a well groomed trail designed with new riders in mind with plenty of gas and dining options! If you're looking for a full day of snowmobiling, check out the orange trail where you're guaranteed to stay busy on a wide variety of networking trails all day long. The Sargent Ponds Loop trail is another amazing option that snowmobilers can occupy in the winter months.
