Lincoln Lakes Area Snowmobile Club
Contact: Mick Farber
The Lincoln Lakes Area Snowmobile Club is celebrating its 20th year during the 2017/18 season. The club, located in NW Morrison County, was started to develop trails to connect the Morrison County trail system to the Todd County trails for the many snowmobilers in the area. The club now maintains and grooms these trails as a part of the Morrison County system.
Until 1997 snowmobilers in northwest Morrison County had no groomed trails linking them to the Morrison County and Todd County trail systems. At that time a few snowmobilers started talking about the possibility of putting in some new trails and discussing how they could get them groomed. Information was sent to the snowmobilers in the area and from that information and by word of mouth, over 50 people attended a meeting to form a club ? Lincoln Lakes Snowmobile Club.
Members went to work putting in the necessary 26 miles of trails to link to the existing trail systems. At the time no grant-in -aid funds were available for new trails so the new trails were funded by the Lincoln Area Business Association. With so few miles, it wasn't feasible to purchase a groomer, so the club contracted with Morrison County Trail Association to groom the trails. Since that time, additional miles of trail have been added to the club system linking Pillager and Motley. The trails are now in the grant-in-aid system and the club does the trail work and grooming on behalf of Morrison County.
Building and maintaining trails is a year round commitment for the club members who volunteer their time to cut trees, clear brush, put up signs, install gates and meet with landowners for permission to use their property for the trails.
The members of the Lincoln Lakes Area Snowmobile Club and our groomer operators would like to remind all trail users that many hours of volunteered time are given each year to make the trail system we have safe and enjoyable for all.
We feel the future of snowmobiling depends on all snowmobilers working together to promote the sport. Being a member of Lincoln Lakes Area Snowmobile Club is a way to promote safe, responsible snowmobiling as well as supporting a good local trail system to snowmobile on.
