REGION HIGHLIGHTS

Mount Greylock


Mount Greylock, standing at 3,491 feet, is the highest point in Massachusetts. On a clear day, its summit offers views extending to 90 miles. During the winter months, there are trails leading to the summit.

Balanced Rock – Savoy State Forest


Nestled deep within Savoy State Forest lies a massive balanced rock. Set high on a hill near Tannery Road, this impressive boulder rests precariously on a bedrock slab. Deposited by a glacier over a million years ago, this natural wonder is a must-see, offering an ideal spot to stretch your legs and plan your next adventure.

    In case of a medical emergency while snowmobiling, always have the local emergency number (typically 911 in the United States) programmed into your phone.

  • Park-n-Rides

    A park-n-ride for snowmobilers is a designated area where individuals who own or operate snowmobiles can park their vehicles and trailers before heading out to explore snowmobile trails. Like park-n-rides for cars, commonly used by commuters who carpool or use public transportation, park-n-rides for snowmobilers provide a convenient and safe place to park their vehicles while engaging in recreational snowmobiling activities.


    Parking Facilities: A park-n-ride for snowmobilers usually offers ample parking space for trucks, trailers, and vehicles transporting snowmobiles. The parking area is designed to accommodate the needs of snowmobilers trailering their machines to the starting point of a snowmobile trail.


    Access to Trails: These facilities are strategically located near popular snowmobiling trailheads. Snowmobilers can park their vehicles and quickly access nearby snowmobile trails without traveling long distances from their homes to the trailhead.


    Safety and Security: Park-n-rides for snowmobilers are often designed with safety in mind. They might have designated parking spaces, proper lighting, and possibly security features to help deter theft or vandalism.


    Trail Information: Some park-n-rides might provide information boards, maps, or signage detailing nearby snowmobiling trails, trail conditions, and safety guidelines. This helps snowmobilers plan their routes and enjoy a safe and enjoyable ride.


    Community Convenience: These facilities can benefit both residents and visitors. Locals can easily access snowmobile trails without causing congestion in residential areas, while visitors can find a centralized location to park and start their snowmobiling adventures.


    Facility Regulations: Depending on the location and management, there might be regulations or guidelines for using the park-n-ride, such as parking fees, parking duration limits, and rules for keeping the area clean.
