Trails connect to all points, north, south, east and west, including the 260 mile international circuit through Canada. In just a few scenic hours, riders can reach New Hampshire and other destinations. Trail maps are available for $5. each plus $1. for postage (check or money order) from the Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club, P.O. Box 950, Rangeley, Maine 04970. There are no trail fees, although numerous fundraisers are held throughout the season. For trail conditions, call the Rangeley Lakes Trail System Hotline at 207-864-7336.
