Moosehead Lake Cabins in Greenville, Maine

The Moosehead Lake area in Greenville, Maine is a perfect destination for snowmobiling with your friends. Open year-round but best for travel from mid-January to the first week of March; this fabulous location has plenty of perks for the snowmobile junkie. They offer an astounding 160-mile trail loop with gorgeous lake views and plenty of dining stops along the way. You can bring your own machine for a very reasonable registration fee, or rent one of theirs for a little bit more.

Some perks of the lounge include their great dining locations, which include Spring Creek BBQ, a fabulous restaurant that offers great food, sound trail information, and even better company. Also, on Saturdays at noon you can watch the popular ice races at Greenville Junction. If you want to venture into Downtown Greenville, you can stop by some of their unique restaurants, including Black Frog (no, they don’t serve what you think), a great stop for munchies and appetizers, Rod n Reel, one of the lodge’s favorite locations, which serves lunch and dinner, and Auntie M’s, a breakfast and lunch destination. They advise that you should plan to reserve your trip mid week to avoid a large number of sledders, crowded conditions, and less-groomed trails. But no matter when you come, you’re guaranteed to have a great time! Read the rest of this entry »

Take a Snowmobiling Vacation

Like it or not winter is coming. Instead of huddling indoors, discover the frozen beauty of Canada on a snowmobile tour. With thousands of kilometers of trails, novice and seasoned sledders can travel deeper and higher into the backcountry to places that are usually inaccessible. Adventure-seekers will be in awe at the quiet beauty and immense, untouched landscape of Canada’s winter wonderland.

From the BC Rockies to the Maritime trails, there’s plenty of snowmobiling vacations to discover:

* The deep powder of Revelstoke, BC makes this area the champion of snowmobiling. With an annual snowfall between 12-18 meters (yes, METERS) and daily temperatures around -5 C, this area is a mountain playground for sledders. Tours with seasoned experts can take you along deep, powder filled valleys and also to mountain tops above the clouds. Snowmobiling in Revelstoke, BC is unbelievably beautiful and unforgettable.
* The Crowsnest pass has hundreds of kilometers of trails but due to the frequent chinooks, snowmobiling in southern Alberta may be fickle. Central and northern Alberta has a constant snow base making for scenic parkland rides through the snow-covered forest. The air may be cold and crisp but a sunny blue sky makes for fantastic snowmobiling in Alberta.
* Ontario has over 49,000 kilometers of interconnected, groomed trails which forms the world’s largest network of recreational trails. Snowmobilers travel through majestic forests as they glide between frozen lakes. Read the rest of this entry »
