Winter Thrills and Chills
Snowmobiling in Lincoln-Woodstock
Three rental outfitters in Lincoln-Woodstock offer visitors the chance to try snowmobiling with expert guides who can handle the machines and terrain. Alpine Adventures offers half-day, full-day and overnight tours, including a "Sunset Tour" that features a ride home in the moonlight. Outback Kayak rents hourly for $49, and the machines at Pemi Valley Excursions feature double seats, plus hand and thumb warmers. Helmets are provided and required by all outfitters, and all the snowmobiles are top of the line.
Snowmobile outfitters are accustomed to helping the first-time snowmobiler. Groups from Florida are not uncommon. Whether from the Sun Belt or city terrain, visitors are provided a safe and comfortable experience along with their winter thrills and chills. All outfitter guides keep their groups small, give complete safety and handling instructions before venturing out and make sure visiting riders are properly dressed (snowsuits and boots are available for rent). They also monitor terrain conditions for safety, and they know the best, hidden scenic vistas. Riders may travel singly or in pairs. Rental fees for a double snowmobile are slightly higher.
The towns of Lincoln and Woodstock straddle the I-93 north-south thoroughfare, putting them within easy reach for a weekend getaway. Paralleling I-93 is New Hampshire's famed "Corridor 11" snowmobile trail which runs all the way to Canada. Many experienced snowmobilers make this trek. Corridor 11 intersects Route 3 in Lincoln-Woodstock, with an east-west trail that leads directly to the many restaurants, inns and shops of the towns' downtown areas.
Several Lincon-Woodstock hotels, motels and inns are right on the trails. Some offer package deals for snowmobilers. The area also features numerous condominium and townhouse rental opportunities with lodgings to house small or large groups in a comfortable home-away-from-home setting.
