The Magalloway Fire Tower is located on Magalloway Mountain, which stands at 3,383 feet. The fire tower offers panoramic views of the Great North Woods landscape.

Pittsburg is a common starting point for snowmobiling trips to Garfield Falls.



Follow the designated snowmobile trails from Pittsburg. The trails are typically well-marked. Key trails often include Primary Trail 141 and its connectors.


The trip to Garfield Falls is approximately 12 miles from Pittsburg, depending on your starting point and trail conditions. As you near the 38-foot falls, you’ll need to park your snowmobile and walk a short distance, especially if the trail is too narrow or ungroomed near the location.

  • Snowmobile Sales & Service

    Tips: When contacting repair shops, inquire about their services, expertise, turnaround times, and rates. Choosing a reputable and experienced repair shop is important to ensure the best service for your snowmobile. Remember that availability and offerings may change, so it's always a good idea to contact multiple sources and verify information before making decisions.


    Local Business Directories: Search online business directories specific to Coos County. These directories might list repair shops, their contact information, and customer reviews.


    Snowmobile Clubs and Forums: Contact local snowmobile clubs or online snowmobile forums. Members of these communities often have recommendations for reliable repair shops in the area.


    Snowmobile Dealerships: Check with snowmobile dealerships in Coos County. They might offer repair services or be able to recommend trusted repair shops in the vicinity.


    Automotive Repair Shops: Some general automotive repair shops offer snowmobile repair services. Contact these shops to inquire about their capabilities and services.


    Local Word of Mouth: Ask locals or other snowmobilers for recommendations. They might have personal experience with repair shops in the area.


    Online Search: Use search engines to find repair shops focusing on snowmobiles or small engines. Include keywords like "Coos County snowmobile repair" to narrow your search.


    Trail Information Centers: Visitor centers or trail information centers in Coos County might have resources and recommendations for local repair businesses.

  • Medical Emergencies

    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.
