Where to Ride Snowmobiles

Trail conditions—Updates will occur every week by 12:00pm CST on Thursday during the snowmobile season. This includes recently groomed snowmobile trails.

North Dakota has 13 state snowmobile trails, totaling just over 2,800 miles, that are maintained by members of Snowmobile North Dakota. Trails are open to snowmobiling enthusiasts from December 1 through April 1, providing that the trail has a minimum of four inches of packed snow.

Many of the trails are on trail easements through private land. Snowmobilers are reminded to respect private property and remain on marked trail segments.
