The Lake House will be closing at the end of the day on Saturday 3/30 for the 2013 winter season. We hope to see you, if not thank you very very much for a great winter, we had a lot of fun and a lot of great memories, hope you did too. Our very best to all of you. 8 months of boney sledding coming up so be careful out there.

3/21 Trail Report

After 18-24" of fresh snow the grooming was a little slow, but excellent! Should be the best riding of the season. Chesuncook trails are all groomed and spoke with the Ragged Rider's groomer. They groomed Farrah Mt, Black Pond, Maxfield Brook and Spencer Mt trails. +20F this morning so the trails should have set up real good.

Snow and trails

15" of snow fell overnight. Hard to believe that it is the first day of Spring. Given the snowfall we will be out grooming tonight. Anyone riding today will have great time. Trails under those 15" of snow was in great shape before, have fun.

3/15 Trails

Just returned from grooming. +15F should set the trails up good for the morning. Ragged was also out grooming tonight. Good base down with a few areas with slush and water so watch out. May be frozen in the morning.

Hundreds of riders yesterday said the trails where" fantastic but by the end of the day, beat up". Just walked in the door from grooming the Chesuncook trails for the past 7 hours. +18F now, so the trails should be excellent in the morning. Heard Ragged Riders on the radio, out grooming also.

Another beautiful day forecast-ed for today, Yesterday/Saturday was outstanding! Thanks to everyone that stopped in yesterday. We really do appreciate your business.Sorry we can't do better on the connector trails to trains, but logging in the area shut down our regular trail. It's still worth the trip, not to mention the great scenery and northern views of Katahdin.

We where a little overwhelmed by the amount of sledders stopping in. You folks are great and very understanding and patient, Thank You! We where short handed, but made it through! You all make grooming the long the hours well worth it, especially when everyone enjoys the ride! So enjoy it again today. Be safe.

4/09 trails

Trails where all groomed last night from Chesuncook Village to the Ragged Riders trails. +12F this morning means that the grooming should have set up real good. Plenty of snow on the trails with NO BARE SPOTS! Great Spring riding in the area with still plenty of snowpack everywhere on and off trail. Lake riding at it's best.

3/6 Trail Report

Groomed from Chesuncook Village to the Spencer Mt Trail on the Ragged Loop. Colder temps and strong winds helped to freeze it up and dry the snow out. Ragged also groomed trails. Trails are flat and no bare spots, ice, or slush on our trails. Lakes are in great shape up here, no slush and flat as pancake w/6" + of snow on them.

Trail Report 3/4

Started grooming this morning at 4:00am when the temp had been steady at 31F. Groomed all the Chesuncook trails and all went well despite the warm temps. Pine Stream Loop and Quaker Brook connector trail all look great as well as the main trail to Chesuncook Village from the Ragged Loop. 2-3" of new snow this morning.

3/2 Trails

Groomed all Chesuncook SC trails last night. We received over a foot of new snow the last two days. And still snowing. Ragged Riders SC was also out grooming too. Trails are EXCELLENT! Enjoy.

Trail conditions 3/01

Trail conditions are ggggggggrrrrreat! A group of 8 just came and said from Rockwood to here was fantastic. We received 8-10" of new snow yesterday and overnight. Conditions could not be better. Still snowing at about and inch an hour. Ragged trails are in great condition too. Spoke to them over the radio last night and they said they just inspected their trail system and gave it a A+.

Chesuncook and Ragged SC's will be grooming this afternoon into tonight so LOOK OUT and stay alert!
