***PLEASE RIDE RESPONSIBLY***

Important Messages 

 Please do not ride on plowed roads that are not posted to allow snowmobiles.

 If you are not comfortable riding on the lakes, please stay off the lakes and ice. If you do not know the lakes, please use the trails. The RLSC has no trails on any body of water.

Be aware that there will be no public parking in the Rangeley Town Park this winter.  The parking area has been relocated on the trail next to Rangeley Inn. There are signs on Route 4. There is direct trail access from this new parking area.
