*** IMPORTANT  TRAIL  INFORMATION ***

Due to summer construction on Rt302 we have installed snow fencing directing all traffic through the culvert under the highway.  The culvert has always been there but this year the DOT has extended the guard rail along the south side of the highway well past the culvert creating a situation where a snowmobiler leaving the Lower Falls Parking lot could climb the embankment onto the Rt302 only to find they cannot go straight across creating a possible deadly situation. At the west end of the Lower Falls parking lot we have signed a Groomer crossing, this is for Groomers only not for snowmobiles as the site line coming around the corner on Rt302 is poor making a snowmobile difficult to see. Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated, lets all work to make this fun and safe season.

Hit Counter

 

Recommended Practice for Passing By a Groomer
Approved by NHSA Map and Trails Committee  

1.  For oncoming sleds:  The sleds should pull off the trail and allow the groomer to pass by.

2.  For sleds overtaking the groomer:  The groomer operator should find a safe spot to pull over and stop.  The sleds can then check to see if they can safely pass by the groomer.

Note: The operator will not signal for sleds to pass by. 

Reason:  Each rider must take responsibility for passing by the groomer safely.
