2009 SNOWMOBILE SEASON

SPRING CONDITIONS

Trails near Rangeley and Oquossoc are closed- no snow left. Trails north of the area are unofficially open until inaccessible.

If you trailer to the back country, please be very careful of private roads and where you park your trailers. 

There should be good back country riding at least until mid-April but we are beginning to remove our trail signs

 People are riding the lakes

WARNING****WARNING
Lake riding is never “safe”

 

Support Snowmobiling

Please join a snowmobile club (especially the Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club) and put some money in one of our many donation boxes at local merchants.

We spend $1200 PER NIGHT to groom and have a 100 day season!!

 

  GENERAL CONDITIONS:

Spring Conditions

Final Update

 Grooming ended on March 27th due to mild weather.

 Trails leading into and out of
Rangeley and Oquossoc are mostly bare and closed. Please trailer to gas.

 Please do not ride on bare ground on private property in Rangeley or Oquossoc 

 There is still plenty of snow north of Rangeley and into Northern NH. Ask locally about access points. Bosebuck is the best access until the road is gated and there may be some areas in Langtown to park and ride.

 

Thanks for riding in Rangeley this season!
