Snowmobiling in Monson
Have you taken a snowmobile ride to Monson yet this winter? It was a slow start with the lack of any major snow fall but three storms last week provided the snow needed for fantastic riding! The local snowmobile clubs have been hard at work grooming the trails to provide the best riding conditions possible.
Elliotsville Snowmobile Club | Facebook
Narrow Gauge Riders Snowmobile Club | Monson ME | Facebook
Narrow Gauge Riders Snowmobile and Elliotsville Riders Snowmobile Clubs have dedicated countless hours keeping trails maintained in the winter, not to mention the time & effort put in during the rest of the year to keep trails clear and preserve access. These groups are non-profit and depend on the donations as well as volunteers to carry on the snowmobiling traditions in the Monson area. Snowmobiling offers a huge boost to the local economy in the winter. Take a moment to check their Facebook pages for contact or trail information and consider how you may be able to help with these organizations to keep the trails open for residents and visitors alike.
