Stoddard has several miles of trails that wind throughout the town. Most of the trails are secluded and pass through wilderness areas. All of the trails that we have the privileges of riding on are on private property. It is due to the generosity of the landowners that we have such an extensive and scenic trail system. We as snowmobilers owe everything to them. It is our duty to show respect for them by staying on the trail, not littering, respecting speed limits, respecting the creatures that inhabit the land, and slowing down to 10MPH or less when encountering pedestrians and cross country skiers on the trails. We have no "rights" to these trails and must use them along with others who enjoy activities other than snowmobiling. The relationship we have with our landowners is fragile and activity by some irresponsible riders has caused friction and the closing of trails in the past. It is also our duty to report this type of activity to New Hampshire Fish and Game. If you see something going on that is not right, take down the registration number of the sleds and contact a conservation officer ASAP. The action you take today will ensure riding for tomorrow

We are having a problem with our trails that are putting our riding future in jeopardy. The problem has to do with ATV usage. There is only one trail in Stoddard where ATV riding is permitted. This is on Kings Highway. All other trails are off limits to ATV travel. This is at the landowners request. Many people are ignoring this and continue to disregard signs, blaze trails around gates, and ride ATVs on the Monadnock- Sunapee trail system. This activity is illegal and has prompted complaints from landowners. If this irresponsible behavior continues, it will result in both trail and land closing thus ruining it for all. New Hampshire is unique from other states in that much land that is opened to the public is owned privately. When the relationship between the public and the private landowner is strained, it puts many trail systems in jeopardy. Owning an ATV gives no one any special rights or access to trails. If a trail is not posted open to ATV usage, then you cannot ride. If you are found on a non-posted trail, then you will be fined for being on it. It is that simple. Anyone that sees an ATV on a non-posted trail is to report it to Fish and Game. It is imperative to all that we obey the rules of the land. We do not want to end up like our neighbors to the south who have lost their privileges due to neglect. Please respect New Hampshire and keep it free. This land is nobody’s amusement park

All grooming labor and trail maintenance projects are done with complete volunteer labor No member accepts any money from state grooming grants. This money is used to pay for gasoline and equipment maintenance on the machines used. The construction money goes toward equipment/operator costs and materials needed for bridges and trails. The money originates from OHRV registration and fines collected by the state of New Hampshire. This money is distributed by the states to grant requests submitted from clubs. As we grow, we will receive more attention from the state in the form of grants which will do nothing but improve the riding in this great town.
