--- IMPORTANT NOTICE---
* A reminder to all, the snowmobile trail is NOT an ATV, DIRT BIKE or Utility Vehicle trail. Please do not use the trail for purposes other than snowmobiling
Please respect landowner's rights. No ATV's, DIRT BIKES or Utility Vehicles are allowed on club trails at any time of the year - except club sponsored maintenance vehicles.
Just a reminder..... A snowmobile club is a 365 day club. Help is needed all year round, so
you can enjoy it in the winter. A big THANKS to our club officers and leaders for all you
do. Without you, we would not have trails to ride. We must also thank all of the
landowners, for the privilege to use their property, for our enjoyment.
We are in need of groomer operators
We will train you
Please contact the Don Darnley @ 716-860-4015
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated and welcomed!
Please respect our land owners, for without them we would have no where to ride.
