At this time snowmobile trails are in poor condition but will stay open through the weekend, and will then close for the season.  Trails have deteriorated significantly with the warmer conditions, and trails in town, along adjacent to roadways are showing bare spots.  Trails out in the outlying areas like the Blue Hills and north of Hawkins are in a little better shape.  Use caution, with the poor conditions.  Never assume any ice is safe to ride. Lakes, stream and river crossings, and swamps should always be considered unsafe. Please respect the landowners who allow us access and use of their property. Stay on the marked trail.
