Snowmobiling Minnesota

Snowmobiling Minnesota trails is an invigorating and exciting reason to get outdoors.

Many of these snowmobile trails run thought some of the most picturesque regions of the state including federal, state, and county forests.

Some of our best winter memories are of moonlight snowmobile rides across fluffy new-fallen snow.

Minnesota snowmobiling trails offer some of the best riding in the world. Many of the 20,000 miles of groomed trails are maintained by snowmobile club volunteers. We have about the same number of miles of snowmobile trails as we do highways. This is just a small indicator of how much we love this wintery sport.

A state trail sticker is required for all snowmobiles operating on state or grant-in-aid trails.

Snowmobiling Minnesota History

The history of snowmobiling in Minnesota is an interesting glimpse into what makes winter so much more fun than it was before the invention of the snowmobile.

Minnesota's trail system offers opportunity to get away from it all in almost every region of the state. There are snowmobile trails near most major cities as well as trails that take you into the wilderness.

While most snowmobilers love the trail rides others want to experience more extreme snowmobiling adventures. 

This might include races, "trick" riding and other forms of snowmobiling that are riskier.

Many small town bars, restaurants, cabins and lodges cater to snowmobilers. Plan a Minnesota snowmobiling weekend or a family vacation that takes you out on the trails. 

If you don't own a snowmobile, you can rent snowmobiles and all the equipment you need. There are snowmobile rentals all over Minnesota.
