Trail Information
Reminder
The Garrett County Snowdrifters Club would like to remind ALL snowmobilers that we do not own any property or trails. It is a privilege to ride on someone else's property! As a snowmobiler you must recognize that landowners and the general public judge snowmobilers, and our club, based upon how YOU interact with them. We should be courteous, helpful, friendly, and respectful toward anyone we meet along the trail, especially those NOT on a snowmobile.
Trail Safety Information
Due to continued lake level monitoring operations by Deep Creek Hydro there is always open water at the dam close to the intake structure. It would be advised to stay clear of this area.
