the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (VT FPR) to maintain and groom the winter ski trails in Willoughby State Forest. Access is available from the CCC Road parking lot on Vermont Route 5A in Westmore, just south of Lake Willoughby.\u00a0Trails are groomed for classic skiing (with set tracks) and skate skiing. All other uses, including snowshoeing, walking, crampons, etc. should avoid the groomed lanes and keep to one side.<\/p>\n<h3>Trails<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Open 7 days a week, self-serve\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"section1\"><strong>Grooming:\u00a0Set-track and skate-skiing, 2-3 days per week, weather permitting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"section1\"><span lang=\"EN\"><strong>Maps and information<\/strong><\/span><span lang=\"EN\"> are available at the trailhead and <\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northwoodscenter.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WSF-2-sided-brochure_2020.pdf\">by clicking here<\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Donations:<\/strong> trailhead kiosk, or <a href=\"https:\/\/northwoodscenter.z2systems.com\/np\/clients\/northwoodscenter\/donation.jsp?campaign=15&amp;&amp;test=true\">Donate Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Financial support is from both the State of Vermont and public donations.
