Trail Conditions

We ended up with 12" of heavy wet snow and another 2" today. Everything is groomed up and in great shape, judging by all the smiles on the trail, folks where having a good ride. The Lobster Trip trail was plowed up again and we spent 3 hours putting the trail back down on a groom that should have taken an hour or less.

We are hooking up with the Pittston Farm Groomer at the north end of NE Carry Road and the Burbank Road on the Moosehead Loop. We are grooming the side of the Lobster Trip Road with the Land Mangers permission. Be careful, it's a multi-use trail and there are vehicles on sharing the road.

We need to hear from you, start typing and tell us how the trails are. Off to do the Salmon Trail, just rode and it's washboard.....sorry just groomed it yesterday afternoon. Temps dropped below 30F, so where good to groom.

Snow!

Plenty of snow this morning. Temps holding below 30F should bring more snow throughout the day. 6" of new snow since sunrise and 4" yesterday.

We'll be grooming late today and all night. So will all the other clubs in the Northwoods Trail system. Logging in some areas finished up weeks ago and we've been waiting for a significant snow to groom the trails. Pay attention, with 16-20" of new snow things will look a little different this weekend.

YES MORE SNOW!!!!!!!!

Just got dumped with another 8 inches today! We've been grooming all day and the trails are PERFECT!!!! Groomed from Northeast Carry, Lobster Trip Road trail, Loop Road trail, Little Lobster trail, Poulin Road trail, and up to the Salmon Pond trail (that will be done late tomorrow). We also groomed up to Mud Pond including all the connector trails and a newly opened trail which avoids Mud Pond Carry.

Snow!

You know it's been a dry winter when 2", now 3" of new snow is something to write about. We've been getting an inch a night for the the past 3 nights and this morning finally some measurable snow.

Better late than never. Think snow!

Trails

The Lobster Trip Road trail is pretty bony due to no new snow. If your coming up you can take the Black Pond Trail around Female Mt. then head north a few miles (it's signed) to the Greenville Road over the Golden Rd then onto Caribou Lake then head up the lake we'll be here.

Also, you can trailer to our parking lot at mile 1 on the Pine Stream Road and take the Salmon Pond Trail up and ride our trails over to the trains on Eagle or up to Caucomogomauc Dam Loop.

Off to Groom!

Snow, trails and Lake Ice

We're still holding onto plenty of snow, 12"+ off trail. If you get stuck off trail in these conditions you better pray no one has a camera. The off trail and lake ice is riding incredible. The lakes are flat with enough snow for traction and cooling. Our trails where all groomed Wednesday and Thursday and are in excellent condition.

When you get into the North Woods snow-belt (north of the Golden Road) you'll get into good snow. If your headed up on our Chesuncook trail from NE Carry, it's worth a couple of bony stretches to get up here. When your North of the Logging Camps your golden.

Trail re-route from Lobster Trip Road to Loop Road, pay attention! This trail brings you down and around the Logging Camps. Those folks at the camps have been very accommodating letting us run trough the middle of their operation while cutting/hauling was taking place on the Loop Road. Thank You very much Mr. Crawford!

This is looking like a VERY SHORT SEASON, don't let it pass you by. You already registered your sled. Trailer it up to the south end of the Lake, or to our trail head at the Pine Stream and Golden Road. Plenty of plowed out parking.

SEE YA!

Trails and Snow

For all of you who stayed home this weekend, you missed out on some great riding and good weather.

*****WE HAVE SNOW HERE****

Just around 18" off trail and a good 10" on trail. There is plenty of snow on the lakes too, and the lakes are flat as a pancake. 2-3" of new snow yesterday and a couple more expected today.

See you on the trail!

Fresh Fish

Zack caught this one yesterday at dusk....goes with cusk I guess. Fishing has been pretty good here. Plenty of action, no trophies yet. This one filleted and chunk-ed up, then deep fried, will taste just like scallops if not better.

Groomed Trails

They're all groomed! Just finished Salmon Trail to NE Carry Trail. Pulled back snow that was plowed off the trail on the Lobster Trip Road and made a good 10' wide trail on the roadside. It's not perfect, but it will keep you running cool. in the snow.

The trails going to the trains north of here have been re-routed also. No more Mud Pond Carry "Jet Skiing". You'll have a dry butt now!

Ride Safe.........Enjoy!

Salmon Trail

New Salmon Trail is in a word, "WOW" and that's not just me. The first group I encountered yesterday morning while I was putting up signs and cutting alders. Stopped and said "WOW that's the real deal"! So, the 15 mile re-rote is a success, and folks coming in all day loved it too.

Here is the trail in a nutshell:

Cross the Golden Road at the Poulin Trail onto the Pine Stream Road, stay left where it's groomed for a 1/4 mile and then take a left onto the new Salmon Trail. 10 miles in you'll go through an old groomed rabbit trail onto the bank of the West Branch then head east 4 miles (caution!! spectacular views of Mt Katahdin) to the village or off to the trains on Chamberlain.

Or you can get there and just follow the signs.

On the Poulin Trail be sure to check out the new "Katadin Lookout". You'll see the whole Katahdin mountain range. Spectacular!

New Trail

New trail to Chesuncook Village. From the south (Golden Road) take the Salmon Pond Road north, Just groomed it last night. At the end of the trail take the connector trail to the West Branch head west 4 miles on the lake, and your here. OR just follow the signs. Awsome ride, great views!

You can still ride the Pine Stream Road to here, it's plowed, and is now a Mixed Use Road. The trucks have the ROW (right of way). Go slow and be alert and ride the right side of the road.
