Moose Snowmobile Trail Reports for Friday, January 23, 2026

WHAT A WEEK IT HAS BEEN.

Ever since the lake effect machines fired up a-few days ago, parts of the Tug Hill Plateau, including primarily Lowville and surrounding areas, have been getting punished with snowfall.

Fortunately for the snowmobile clubs in that region, this certainly has kept them busy digging out and re-setting the trails.

Even better, there has been enough snow that ended up wandering a little further south to boost other trail systems that were wearing thin.

Do keep in mind that it will be extremely cold this weekend (check out our latest NWS coverage from Friday, January 23, 2206).

Here are some of the latest trail reports we’ve gathered from around the local area (check out the latest NYSSA map):
