All lake and river trails in Oneida County are considered unsafe and dangerous and should not be utilized until they have been clearly marked by a local snowmobile club. As always, the Oneida County Forestry, Land, & Recreation Department reminds riders to stay on marked trails. Off-trail riding is trespassing and could result in closure or loss of trails and citations and fines for those who participate.
Always exercise caution when riding a snowmobile. The trails are in rough, early season condition.
