Free Snowmobiling Weekend for Out-of-State Riders!

Mark your calendars! Each year, two weekends are designated as a Free Snowmobile Weekend to help you make the most of winter. During this period, out-of-state and Canadian snowmobilers can hit New York’s trails for free—no NYS registration required. As long as your sled is properly registered and insured in your home state or province, you’re good to go!

The Adirondacks boast over 6,000 miles of snowmobile trails, winding through scenic forests, frozen lakes, and welcoming small towns. Whether you're looking for a short ride or an all-day adventure, there’s a trail for every rider.
