Snowmobile Trail Conditions March 29, 2018 This is the final trail condition report for NH snowmobile trails this season. It’s certainly been an interesting season to say the least. For the diehards out there, you can still get in some good spring riding in the high North Country. Most clubs have ceased grooming and are in the process of closing down. OHRV riders stay tuned for trail conditions once that season kicks off on our OHRV web page, our Facebook Trail Conditions page, or you can sign up below to receive them via email. Mud season has been declared for much of NH and many winter riding areas are now closed. Another big thank you to all of the landowners and clubs for all of their hard work this season! Let’s hope next year brings us a bountiful snow fall that is continuously on the ground. Note that if an area is not listed below it should be considered as no reportable riding conditions at this time. You may want to check with local clubs for trail status and conditions. Railroad Corridors Riding on ACTIVE railroad tracks is illegal and extremely dangerous. Riders should not operate along, within, or across active railroads. Railroads that become snowmobile trails are signed open for winter use and are listed below. Great North Woods Region Pittsburg Trails are best in the high areas. At this point, the club is looking to groom where they can through this weekend. Would recommend trailering to East Inlet area. Diamond Pond/Coleman State Park Open, groomed, good to great conditions. Stay off plowed logging roads unless they are signed OPEN and then use caution. Colebrook Trails/gates into town are CLOSED for the season, as well as the Shrine trail. Rail bed is CLOSED, gates will be soon.
