Cedar Swamp Block
This entirely wooded six mile snowmobile trail runs in a north and east direction through dense growths of mountain laurel. Unplowed forest roads provide a smooth, easy grade with sufficient width for two-way traffic. Find the trailhead at the intersection of Cedar Swamp Road and Pine Ledge Road.
Turkey Hill Block
Traverse unplowed forest roads through both deciduous and evergreen woodland and catch occasional views of Turkey Hill and Pataconk Reservoirs on these easy trails, wide enough for two-way snowmobile traffic. Find trailhead parking along the sides of Filley Road near the Route 9 overpass.
