Landowners, Our most important partners

Nearly 80% of the snowmobile trails in New York are located on private lands. We appreciate the partnership with our landowners, and remind all snowmobilers to treat the trails- and the property owners- with respect.

Landowners participating in the NYS snowmobile trail system are eligible for liability coverage under the blanket NYSSA insurance policy, at no cost to the property owner. Landowners allowing access to snowmobile clubs are also protected by the provisions of the NYS General Obligations Law. The snowmobile club is responsible for proper trail signage and grooming.

There are over 11,000 miles of official trails in New York State.

Tracks are NOT A TRAIL.  0fficial trails are marked with signs that conform to OPRHP standards.

 Please check with your local club or District Director to find trail heads.
