SNOWMOBILING IN THE ENDLESS MOUNTAINS
150 MILES OF GROOMED TRAILS maintained by NORTHEAST PA SNO-TRAILS, INC. |
NE PA Sno-Trails (NEPAST) is a PA State Snowmobile Association member club dedicated to maintaining snow trails in the tri-county region of Susquehanna, Wayne and Lackawanna County. NEPAST works with the Rail-Trail Council of NE PA and uses the D&H and O&W Rail-Trails as the main arteries in the trail system. They also maintain other trail right-of-ways to provide linkages between the railbeds, and links to B&B's, restaurants, gas stations and stores. A trail pass, available by mail or at area retailers, is necessary to access the trail system. Registration and insurance is required as per PA State Law. Trail passes are $35 per sled. A trail map of the 150 mile snowmobile system is obtained with each trail pass. Trail access points are indicated. Forest City has a large trailhead with trailer parking at the FC Industrial Park Rd off Rt. 247. The snow trails are open dependent on snow cover. Trails are maintained and groomed on a regular basis. Please follow rules and regulations; stay on the trail; respect private property. During snowmobile season, a snow 'hot-line' recording indicating conditions and timely messages can be reached at 1-570-448-1766. NEPAST meets monthly at area restaurants, and sends out newsletters and announcements to members. Year-round volunteers are needed for general trail maintenance. Trail pass information is available by contacting: Rail-Trail at (570) 679-9300 or Northeast Pa Sno-Trails, Inc., P.O. Box 113, Forest City, PA 18421. Web: www.nepsnotrails.snowclubs.com |
