Willoughby State Forest Weekly Trails Update
Trails were last groomed on Friday March 9th. Grooming will not occur until this storm is passed, so expect unpacked powder conditions until tomorrow or Friday. Unfortunately, we are down to the last of our funds in our grooming budget and are unable to get out as often as we would like. We are hoping to pack the trails down tomorrow and groom this Friday, though it could be the last run of the season. Check back here for updates.

About Willoughby State Forest Trails
The Willoughby trails include 12 kilometers of wide groomed terrain suitable for both skate and classic skiing and are a gateway to other parts of Willoughby State Forest. Other uses (snowshoeing, walking, crampons, etc.) should avoid the groomed lanes and keep to one side (please). Leashed dogs (per Westmore Ordinance) are permitted; visitors are expected to clean up after their dogs on the groomed trails and in the parking area.
Trails are groomed 2-3 days per week, weather permitting. Trail use is by donation (suggested $5/person) and helps defray maintenance and grooming expenses. Thank you.

Great conditions! Trails were groomed this morning (3/14) and are waiting to be used. Tracks were not set but our trails are open with packed powder conditions. Enjoy!
We endeavor to groom trails 2-3 times a week, weather permitting. Trail use is by donation (suggested $5/person) and defrays the expense of maintenance and grooming. Maps, rentals, and information are available at our Lodge.
