If you happen to see a couple with a big old black dog walking the road at Pack Forest this winter, be sure to say hello!Laurienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029293787639958559.post-43633539706118760262014-12-01T13:48:42.249-05:002014-12-01T13:48:42.249-05:00Thanks again.

It looks like the entire portion of the forest west of Pack Forest Lake is off limits to snowmobiles (except for Ben Wood Mountain). That still gives xc skiers lots of terrain to cover. Good news!Telemarkmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244934063930648765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029293787639958559.post-46440655131282240622014-12-01T12:30:47.344-05:002014-12-01T12:30:47.344-05:00It's definitely not the whole system, but acco...It's definitely not the whole system, but according to this map I found, it looks like the trail up Ben Woods Mt is: http://northernwarrentrailblazers.snowclubs.com/map/trailmap2012.pdf It's the 2012 map, but I don't expect there's been much change. Until looking at the map just now, I had assumed people just used the parking lot to access the main line that runs between Chestertown and Warrensburg. We saw trailers in the lot, and heard machines in the distance, but never actually encountered any.Laurienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029293787639958559.post-28476140078346420812014-12-01T05:53:09.500-05:002014-12-01T05:53:09.500-05:00Thanks for the info.

The trails would be ideal for snowmobiles, but I didn't get the impression that I was on a snowmobile route.Telemarkmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244934063930648765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029293787639958559.post-21074919278923279462014-11-30T22:31:29.741-05:002014-11-30T22:31:29.741-05:00They do plow the jeep road you have pictured at Pa...They do plow the jeep road you have pictured at Pack Forest. At least they did last winter. It became a go-to spot for us to get out and walk with our old, arthritic dog once the snow got too deep for him. There are still plenty of trails to ski and snowshoe, though. One other note is that the main parking area also serves as access to the snowmobile trail system, so if peace and solitude are what you're after, you might be disappointed. Laurienoreply@blogger.com
