MAPS, MAPS, MAPS…..They’re OUT!
Thanks to a handful of club members (mainly Tim Lorenz), the new maps have been printed and are in circulation.  Full color maps with full color ads cover the front and back of the 19”x27” maps.  Thanks to all of our sponsors and all of the volunteers who contributed.  Please see our map page, which shows a low resolution version of the map and indicates locations where these maps can be purchased.

 

 

 

 

DIRECT POST FROM US Army Corps of Engineers site regarding Hopkinton/Drew Lake Closing

NOTICE TO SNOWMOBILERS:

It has been a longstanding policy of the US Army Corps of Engineers in New England to prohibit designated snowmobile trails from crossing lakes or rivers at our projects (Including Hopkinton, Everett, and Drew Lakes).  This is due to the fact that these waters are regulated by flood control dams.  The water levels are subject to rise and fall at anytime and as a result could cause dangerous ice conditions that may not be readily apparent to snowmobilers. 

It is important to emphasize that this is not a new policy and the unofficial trail over Hopkinton and Drew Lakes was never sanctioned by the Corps.  Again, this is a safety issue.  We realize that this issue is further complicated by the lack of a highway crossing for Route 202/9 and we continue to work with area snowmobile clubs to promote safe trail use and development on Corps property that does not require water crossings.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation in this matter.   Please continue to monitor this website for any updates.

As a club we intend to issue a statement shortly describing the new trail, when it will be open and our potential involvement….please stay tuned!

 

 

2/2/10 TRAILS UPDATE:
As many of you are already aware, the significant rain and warm weather of Sunday 1/24 essentially put a temporary hold on our trail system.  We are anxious to get some more snow soon and with a decent frozen base are quite ready for it.  Please hang tight and stay tuned…..

 

 

Sno-Traveler update:
We understand that several of the members have not received their copy of the “Sno-Traveler” magazine.  We apologize for any inconvenience and are correcting the issue.  However, you can click here to read the write up by Gene Propper (our publicity director) for our club.  Also, you can click here to be directed to a page on the NHSA website, which will allow you to read the whole issue.

 

 

TRAIL NORTH???
Many have asked for an alternate route to get north due to the recent closing of Stumpfield/Drew Lake area by USACE.  From Weare, there are (2) options to get north.  One option is to utilize the trail by Lake Horace towards Henniker (due to lake of snow and safe ice conditions, this trail is not yet recommended).  The other option is to head from Stark Pond parking lot, through Dunbarton, towards Turkey pond.  Although this 2nd option is currently a little rough, due to lack of snow, it is pretty well marked.  You can click here to find an “unofficial map” of the area near the Old Dunbarton Country store (soon to re-open for gas) to the crossing of the Contoocook River at the “Hero Bridge”.
