Where to park for snowmobile access?

Zee · 01-29-2009, 02:08 PM

We are northern lakers and not familiar with snowmachining in the southern part. We would like to access the rail trail in Meredith, the rails heading along Paugus Bay and the trails around Patricks Pub. Does any one know where to park and unload for these areas?

you can park at the movie theater in gilford. and get on the trail right there that goes along the road and then under the overpass it gets onto the trail to alton

I've seen folks parked by the boat launch at Waukewan also. You can quickly hop on the tracks from there.

Longtime reader, but just joined. How do you get to Alton from the underpass near the theatre?
Also, Hilltopper, I have always enjoyed your reports on conditions, thanks

Do you know where Waukewant Street is in Meredith? The northeast end of the street is accessed off from Main Street and the southwest end of the street connects with 104. You can't miss the access...it's only about a half mile off Main St.

I meant to add that there's not a ton of parking here so if you tried to use it derby weekend you probably wouldn't find a spot.

I will just put this out there. I do allow some people, customers, and hopefully potential customers park out behind my shop on Waukewan St, There is direct groomed trail access to the trail along RTE 104. We are just off the intersection of 140 and Waukewan St. Next to the large Inkware Factory. Please come in and I can show you where to park if you are interested. - Denis Winnipesaukee Motorsports LLC For more info call 279-9059 or email sales@nhtoystore.com
