Winter Trail Access
PLOWED TRAIL HEAD PARKING LOTS
The Squam Lakes Association aims to have access to the majority of the trails we maintain through the winter season. The following trail head parking lots are plowed throughout the winter thanks to the volunteer efforts of Rusty Rakes Maintenance, Riveredge Marina, and the SLA's Lakes Region Conservation Corps members.
- Belknap Woods
- Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest (both lots)
- Cotton Mt.
- Brooks Fisher
- Old Bridle Path to West Rattlesnake
- Mt. Morgan
- Col Trail (113 access across from Eastman Brook)
Make sure you're prepared for winter hiking by referencing SLA's guide on what to wear and checking out SLA 's gear library. Happy Hiking!
