Trail Conditions
Tupper Lake to Saranac Lake Ice Castle…
…with a whole bunch in between! IDEAL mid-winter weather: wall-to-wall sunshine and deep blue sky. No way I would let this day pass by without spinning track. Started at 11am from the new Washington Street parking lot in Tupper Lake. This lot is so big, I was looking for the mall next to it. WOW! […]

The closest I have to an easy button snowmobile ride is taking a run to Perkins Clearing and booking it back to […]
