Maximum Capacity Policy

The Society recognizes the need to determine a maximum capacity due to the constraints of parking space. The need to park safely, legally and to be prepared in case of an emergency is vital to the success of the Society. It is the intention of the Board of Directors to provide a quality trail system for the enjoyment and safety of all snowmobilers and to support environmental stewardship.

The Society will accept vehicles for parking up to capacity of the parking lots as determined by on site parking attendants or the manager. Excess vehicles will be turned away and the parking lots closed. Overnight RV Parking will not be permitted. A maximum of 1000 trail passes will be sold between all booth locations.
