The Heart of Snowmobile Country
Welcome to the Inlet Trail System and the Moose River Recreation Area! - Trails open for the 2024/25 season on Monday, December 9.
Purchase Your Trail Permit Here.
Explore the many miles of snowmobile trails in the Inlet area, and check out some of the most pristine scenery New York has to offer. Inlet is the gateway to the Moose River Recreation Area, a 34-mile corridor of state-owned land that is groomed each day and connects with trails in Indian Lake. It is referred to as a snowmobile highway.
The Town of Inlet system, which connects to the Town of Webb system, winds through forests, goes around lakes, and climbs along mountains on well-marked and groomed trails. All of our accommodations, restaurants, and services are easy to reach right via our trail system. Please consider calling ahead to confirm operation times.
All of the Town of Inlet's snowmobile trails, which are not on New York State Land or on a ridable County Road are part of a joint system with the Town of Webb which requires a permit. Permits can be purchased online here or in person at the Inlet Information Office or Town of Webb Visitor Center. PRESEASON SALE ends November 15th!
Trail Conditions:
The Inlet Snowmobile Trails will open on Monday, December 9, 2024. Inlet groomers will occasionally report to the Inlet Information Office with trail conditions, which will be posted here and/or Inlet's Facebook page.
Report from the groomers:
- Inlet Trails Department will work on the trails throughout the summer.
You can also check Old Forge's website and see what they have posted for conditions. The BEST places to go for trail conditions are: the Facebook group Snowmobile Conditions Big Moose/Old Forge & Inlet Area - in this group, the reports are from real people riding the trails; Inletsnow's Facebook page - local to Inlet, this page will share Town of Inlet and Inlet Barnstormers groomer reports. They also own InletSnow.com where you will find a bunch of area webcams so you can check snow conditions live; ILSNOW.COM - this is Darin Harr from Indian Lake. He rides the trails in Indian Lake, Spectulator, through the Moose River Plains and into Old Forge as often as he can and also knows a lot about the weather. Trail conditions in the Long Lake area can be found here.
