Snowmobiling

Ice Breaking Notice:

Commencing the week of March 21, the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker CCGS Griffon will be arriving from the Welland canal transiting eastward through Lake Ontario and the western section of the St. Lawrence River en route to Prescott and Bauharnois canal area.

Ice fishermen, snowmobilers and other recreational users of the ice are strongly advised to remain well clear of the icebreaker's track. Light spring ice conditions will result in hazardous and unstable conditions. For further information contact the Canadian Coast Guard Ice Operations Office at 1-800-265-0237.

Snowmobile Trails

Main Adirondack Corridors connect to both the north and south east corners of the county. The heart of the County's trail system is centered between South Colton and Cranberry Lake in the Adirondack Park. The Massena area is connected to trails centered in the Brasher State Forest. These trails are crisscrossed by numerous secondary trails. Parking, gas, food and lodging are available at some locations along the routes. Access points to the trails are often found at these establishments.

Trail Access

Many parking and access points can easily be located in the small hamlets along the trail system. The County Snowmobile Association's Trail Map marks all access and parking areas including more remote points. The most popular, convenient, and easily found with accommodations are listed here.

Thanks to private landowners permission for access, and volunteers who maintain the routes, anyone can enjoy these trails. Snowmobile Club members not only enjoy riding the trails they are also responsible for maintaining a large portion of them.
