PRIME RIDING
EXPLORING NEW HAMPSHIRE WITH AN ATV
#RidingTowardsChange
Did you know that The North Country will
soon have new ATV trail signage? With over
1,000 miles of interconnected trails, New
Hampshire’s Ride the Wilds™ trail system is
a hidden gem in Coos County that attracts
novice and experienced riders alike.
“Ride the Wilds is an iconic trail system that provides thousands of miles
of trails where riders can create memories, discover adventures and
spend time with friends and family,” said Lucy Clark Dougherty, president
of the Polaris Foundation. “Polaris is honored to
support this community’s collaborative effort to
enhance off-road riding experiences.”
Linking arms to create an alliance unlike any other,
local clubs, companies and organizations are
volunteering to alleviate improper ATV trail use issues along with finding
a better way to manage high traffic areas. With a generous grant from
The Polaris ® Foundation, 1,000 signs will be installed throughout the trail
system (over 500 miles) to help ensure ATV riders
and local communities stay safe. The new initiative
will improve navigation, decrease improper access
and enhance the overall quality of the trail system.
The alliance includes The North Country Chamber
of Commerce, Metallak ATV Club, Great North Woods ATV Club, Umbagog
ATV Club, Millsfield ATV Club and Bear Rock Adventures.
WHAT A RIDE
SNOWMOBILE CAPITAL OF NEW ENGLAND
The Great North Woods, New Hampshire’s North Country is one of
the best snowmobile destinations in New England. Year after year,
thousands of visitors flock to the region to ride pristine groomed trails
with incredible wildlife and mountain views.
With over 700 miles of trails and an extensive lodging network,
it’s hard to argue its status. All the trails are groomed by the local
snowmobile clubs and connect to trails in Vermont, Maine, and
Quebec. Since Pittsburg is the most northern town in New Hampshire
bordering Canada, you can bring your passport and cross over to
Chartierville for lunch. Take a selfie at the border and brag to all your
friends that you snowmobiled to and from Canada in a day.
Check Out Those Views
Diamond Ridge in Pittsburg offers incredible views of the wooded
forest below. Standing at 3,230 feet, you can ride perfectly groomed,
wide trails to the summit of the mountain. On bluebird days, you can
see for miles and the trails are often studded with wildlife.
Sugar Hill in Stewartstown offers great views of the North Country’s
wilderness. Make sure to stop at the Swift Diamond Riders’ warming
hut open on the weekends! Grab a bite to eat and refuel your sled.
Dixville Notch is a steep and challenging ride to an amazing view just
below the windmills. Be sure to pack some snacks for the Canadian
Grey Jays that will happily eat out of your hands.
Bear Rock Adventures located in Pittsburg,
NH offers top of the line OHRVs, customized trips
with Pick Your Own Adventure, personal trail guides,
and flexibility for groups of all sizes.
Whether you are an experienced rider, a first-timer,
young, or young at heart, ATV riding is the opportunity
for you to experience the nature that New Hampshire
has to offer. The trails are the place to get the heart
racing or find your zen. Come experience it!
