There's a whole lot of snowmobiling going on in state parks in the winter. Visitors are permitted to run their snowmobiles after the last day of deer season in December to April 1, as long as there is enough snow cover. Most parks offer designated snowmobile trails for exploration. Others designate large, open spaces for snowmobiling. State parks also provide trailhead access to snowmobile trails on state forest land.
Find out where there is snow in state parks with our Winter Activities Report, updated twice a week from December until spring thaw.
Find out where to go on state forests with their Snowmobile Trail Conditions updated twice a week during the winter season, or call the Snowmobile Hotline which provides updates on snow cover and snowmobiling conditions on state forest lands; call toll-free 877-766-6253. The hotline is updated every Tuesday and Thursday of the winter season.
In order to use your snowmobile on state lands, the vehicle must be properly registered with the snowmobile unit in the Snowmobile/ATV Registration Section and have the permit visibly displayed. To find out any additional details about the program, call the ATV/Snowmobile Unit at 717-783-1364.Mount Pisgah
