Snowmobiling in Upstate NY's Adirondack Mountains

Find fresh snow, expertly groomed Adirondack snowmobile trails, and North Woods hospitality

Gear up for a winter wonderland of fresh snow, open trails, and exhilarating outdoor adventure! From the northern areas of Franklin County that stretch from the High Peaks region all the way to the Canadian border, to the well-groomed trails of southern Warren County, Adirondack snowmobile trail systems are plentiful and easily accessed. From December to March many areas in this region revel in an annual accumulation of approximately 300” of fresh powder!

Whether you’re looking for a guided tour or prefer to strike out on your own, there is plenty of open trail for exploring. The Old Forge and Inlet areas host hundreds of miles of groomed trails giving the area its name, “The Snowmobile Capital of the East”.

Destinations are varied and unique, ranging from the Moose River Plains Wilderness, Cranberry Lake, the Long Lake area, even all the way north to the Canadian border. Trails here are skillfully maintained, providing riders invigorating runs with access to magnificent wilderness areas.

Hamilton County and the Speculator areas have the largest trail system in the state, with more than 750 miles of groomed trails to choose from! This area provides incredible views of the majestic Adirondacks, with trails that provide snowmobilers with an amazing outdoor experience. Frequent fresh powder and brisk temperatures make this area a sure bet for finding a snowmobile race nearly every weekend.

After a day of vigorous trail riding, treat yourself to the hospitality and warmth that have made this north woods region a top-notch winter wonderland destination. Most snowmobile trail systems are linked to small towns, villages and hamlets. Many pause in the heart of a picturesque Adirondack hamlet where you and your trail partners can disembark for a hearty meal next to a roaring fire before continuing on your way (or not!).

From where the rugged mountain range meets the frozen expanse of Lake Champlain, to the snow-covered plains of the western border of the Park, trails are open and inviting. Comfortable accommodations are readily available in private cabins and chalets, or rustically elegant Adirondack resorts and hotels. No matter where your adventure leads you, the legendary Adirondack hospitality is waiting your arrival!
