Snowmobiling in New York

Across New York, from the legendary Catskill Mountains to the shores of Great Lake Erie, you'll find wide-open trails, cool events, and warm welcomes. Travel more than 800 miles of groomed trails throughout the vast and scenic Adirondacks. From Speculator and Long Lake to Old Forge, known as the Snowmobile Capital of the East for more than 50 years, the snowmobile is king. Wild forested routes on the vast Tug Hill Plateau are covered with 200 to 300 inches of lake-effect snow every year. With New York snowmobiling trails all over the state, there's plenty of room for adventure.
