The Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust brought dozens of residents and visitors onto conserved lands this winter through snowmobile and snowshoe events designed to connect the community with local trails and winter landscapes. On Feb. 14, the trust hosted a snowmobile trailside rest stop at the Hunter Cove Uplands parking lot along Route 4. More than 45 snowmobilers stopped throughout the day to warm up by a fire and enjoy hot cocoa, coffee, cookies and hot dogs while meeting trust staff and volunteers. The event also gave riders an opportunity to learn about the trust’s efforts to preserve snowmobile access across the Rangeley Lakes Region. The organization maintains more than 35 miles of snowmobile trails on its conservation lands.
