  Northern New York state is home to the Adirondack Mountains and park. These peaks have twice hosted the Winter Olympics--in the village of Lake Placid. The region is ripe for snowmobile activity with hundreds of miles of trails. Between frozen lakes and wooded mountain trails, the snowmobile routes in the Adirondack Mountains are varied and plentiful.
  
  

St. Lawrence County

• St. Lawrence County is in the northwest corner of the Adirondacks. For remote and backcountry style riding, consider taking the snowmobile trails out of the village of Cranberry Lake. Drive east toward Tupper Lake on New York Route 3 and find the trailhead for the Sevey's Corners trail at the junction of Route 3 and Route 88. Park at the trailhead and enjoy more than 40 miles of snowmobile trails along frozen muskeg and pine forests. Trails are popular on weekends. The Cranberry Lake Snowmobile Club has group rides and newcomers are encouraged to join in.
  
  

Lewis County

• The Tug Hill Plateau in Lewis County is known for its heavy snowfalls. The snowfalls here are caused by lake-effect snow coming from the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. The Tug Hill Plateau has 600 miles of groomed snowmobile trails during the winter months. Try the number 5 trail out of Harrisville. Take New York Route 3 to the village and turn left onto Route 812. The trailhead for Trail 5 is approximately 10 miles from the village. Park at the trailhead and enjoy pine forests, undulating hills and the ability to connect to more than 100 miles of trail off the 5. Maps are available through the Tug Hill Snowmobile Club.
  
  

Moose River Plains to Indian Lake

• The Moose River Plains to Indian Lake trail connects the two small hamlets and waterways via groomed snowmobile routes over the frozen water and through the foothills of the mountains. The trail extends to Inlet and Long Lake as well, should you wish to lengthen your snowmobile adventure. Pick up the trail on State Route 28 near the hamlet of Inlet. Park at the trailhead and head out for the lengthy and woodland ride. Maps are available at the Inlet Town Hall.
