Current Trail Conditions
UPDATED TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 2010 @ 10:30 AM
The season has officially come to an end. This weekend trail boss, Sterling Murphy of the Hamden Trail will be taking down signs and fixing up land that was used from Downsville To Hamden. Anyone who wants to attend please email or call Sterling Murphy at 607-363-2548. On 04/11/2010 Trail Boss of the gas trail, Erik Johnson will be taking down signs from Downsville towards Cable's Lake. Anyone interested should call Erik at 607-372-4455. Bring a rake, dry shoes, water and a garbage bag. This is a great way of meeting our property owners and saying thank you.
As our season comes to a close, I want to thank everyone who came out and enjoyed our system and paid patronage to local businesses. Please don’t forget all the hard work that goes into a trail system to get them started, there is just as much work to be done at the end of the season. As trail Captain of the Gas Trail, I speak for all of us, there are still signs that need to come down, grass seed to be planted on private land and gates and fences to put back in place. Come out and join us help clean up. It’s a good way to meet the property owners and thank them for the use of their land and help the club tidy up the trails in anticipation for next year.

IMPORTANT!!! - With state budgets being as tight as they are, its very important to use the "sign-in registries" when you ride in Bear Spring Mt or Campbell Mt. These sign-ins boxes are located near the parking lot at the top of West Trout Brook and Spruce Grove in Bear Spring. Our club had signs put in place last season as a reminder. This data is definitely being looked at by the state and they need to see how many snowmobilers are using these trails. All it takes is for one person to sign-in and enter the numbers of people in their group. We cannot stress enough the importance of doing this. Support Your Sport!!!

Do you have any parking areas
Do you have any parking areas for visitors to your system? Would be coming from oneonta.
Parking Areas
Coming from Oneonta, you could use Rt 206 to the top, across from the radio station, Beers Brook Rd Parking. This will put you right at the top of W Trout Brook Rd; in the Bear Spring Mtn. State Park. Or, go to the next right turn, E Trout Brook Rd, and follow the road down to Spruce Grove Camping Area. Across from the campsite there is a parking lot. Others opt to go directly to The Old Schoolhouse Restaurant in Downsville and unload their sleds in the rear parking lot. From there you can access our trails also.
New Trail This Year
There's a new trail off of trail 2 that is downhill to E Trout Bk Rd, and comes out just below Launt Pond. After crossing the rd., it takes you uphill (steep), parallel to trail 4, and comes out on Fork Mtn.
