It’ s true: Minnesota has more snowmobile trail miles( about 22,000) than highway miles( 11,694 – and that includes US and

Minnesota highways as well as interstate miles). It doesn’ t hurt that two major snowmobile manufacturers are based in the northwestern part of the state, but in reality, it’ s the dedicated society of snowmobile clubs over the past 60 years that make the trail system what it is today.

Snowmobiling in Minnesota is a dream for sledders who like touring or who like to pack on the miles. It also has more than its fair share of local gems. Since Snow Goer is based in Minnesota, you know that we all have our favorite trails, pitstops and locals-only experiences. We’ re letting you in on our trail secrets and the places we happily return to again and again.

We’ re not the ones to say,“ Shhh, don’ t tell anyone and keep the riff-raff out.” Yes, there are popular areas but with such a vast trail network, there’ s truly room for all.
