Places to Ride

State Parks and Forests
State Parks and Forests offer thousands of miles and hundreds of acres of designated snowmobile areas for exploration. Opportunities range from scenic trails through the woods, to straightaway runs on roadways, to large, open spaces. State Parks also provide trailhead access to snowmobile trails on State Forest land. Trails open the day after the last day of Pennsylvania's regular or extended rifle deer season and close April 1, or earlier as determined by the district forester or park manager. For a complete listing of snowmobile trails within Pennsylvania State Forests, go to Trail Maps and Snow Conditions.  Also visit the  Pennsylvania State Parks snowmobile site for a complete listing of snowmobile trails within the parks. You may also call 888-PA-PARKS for a copy of the printed publication. During the season, DCNR operates a snowmobile hotline updating snow and trail conditions twice a week. Call toll-free 1-877-SNOMBLE before you head out.
