NEW HAMPSHIRESNOWMOBILE TRAILS

WINTER 2010

From the New Hampshire Bureau of Trails There are more than 6,900+ miles of well-maintained snowmobile trails in New Hampshire for your riding pleasure. Our trail system exists because of the partnerships between the landowners, the local snowmobile clubs, the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association, the Bureau of Trails, and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Dept. The snowmobile club’s volunteers are responsible for the majority of the trail maintenance on our trail system. Portions of the snowmobile registration fees support trail maintenance, grooming equipment purchases, safety education, and law enforcement efforts on the trail system.

The private landowners throughout the state who have generously allowed their property to be used for this great winter sport is why you have the expansive trail system for the sport that you love. Stay on marked trails and respect the landowner’s property and property rights, pay attention to warning signs, watch for groomers, and… Enjoy the Ride!

Trail Conditions are update on Tuesday and Fridays from December 15th to the end of March.

Snowmobilers Trail signs and markers like these are your vital signs!Signs and trail markers are established for safety. A great deal of time and money is spent to erect signs. It is illegal to remove, destroy, deface or obstruct signs and markers on trails or on private property. Violation of this section is a misdemeanor. Respect private property and stay on the trails! Without the private landowner's permission, our trail system would not have many miles of riding pleasure.

Fish & Game Conservation Offi cers patrol snowmobile trails on snowmobiles and

Safe Snowmobiling is the Best Snowmobiling!

Use “Extreme Caution” on the lakes and ponds!

There are many “multi-use trails” in the state, so you could see cross-country skiers, snowshoers, hikers, and sled dog activity. Please ride with caution for everyone’s safety and, remember… keep to the right while riding the trails.

Also, please pay close attention to the Warning Signs, Speed Limit Signs, Stop Signs, and the new Permitted Signs for legal riding areas.

There are over 200 trail groomers in the state. A groomer travels at an average speed of only 5-8 MPH. Riders need to use “extreme caution” on the trails and always be on the lookout for groomers. Many of the grooming machines are exceptionally wide and long, so you as the snowmobiler need to give the right-of-way, and always slow down when approaching the groomer.
