About
Clark County offers more than 370 miles of well-groomed snowmobile trails. The trails meander through the nearly 135,000 acre County Forest, as well as the many wood-lots and rolling farmlands. Private and public lands provide the links to several communities as you traverse through the trail system. Clark County snowmobile trails serve as a major link to the state corridor network and adjoining counties. Please be aware that while some of the snowmobile trails allow for winter ATV use, UTV's are not allowed on the trail system during the winter.
Access Points
Convenient trail access points are located throughout Clark County. Corridor and connector trails provide you with endless opportunities to include our exceptional snowmobile trails in your winter plans.
Safety First
Clark County urges everyone to abide by State and County Regulations. Snowmobile travel is only allowed on the designated trails and routes that are OPEN. Please respect the landowner's property. Without landowner's permission the trail system would not be possible.
