Winter Thrills and Chills
Snowmobiling in Lincoln-Woodstock
OK, so you're not a skier, but all your friends and family members are. Consider getting your winter thrills with snowmobiling, one of the more popular winter activities in New Hampshire.
The Lincoln-Woodstock region of the White Mountains stands at the crossroads of New Hampshire's vast trail system and attracts novices and experts alike because of its excellent groomed trails and scenery that's as thrilling as the ride. Within the Lincoln-Woodstock town boundaries are 75 miles of groomed trails, plus two excellent downhill ski resorts, a wide variety of accommodation and dining options and miles of cross-country and snowshoeing trails. It's an easy place to customize a winter adventure getaway.
Snowmobiling is an excellent way to see the remote backcountry and enjoy rare views of the vast White Mountain National Forest. Most trails in the Lincoln-Woodstock area traverse scenic bridges over frozen streams and skirt along flat railroad beds bordered by picturesque ponds. Some even lead up a mountain or two. One of the most popular rides is on the Franconia Notch bike trail, which leads past the state's famed "Old Man in the Mountain" granite face to the Cannon Mountain Ski Area – an excellent place for a hot chocolate stop. Mount Sully and Russell Peak are popular area rides for experienced snowmobilers.
