  1. Snowmobile Trail C8C

    • Snowmobile trail C8C begins to the east of Malone, just north of state Route 11, near where Short Avenue meets Elm Street Road. The C8C heads northeast past Burke, then east, crossing into Clinton County. If you follow the C8C for its full length, it runs parallel to Lake Champlain through Essex County, circling around Ticonderoga.

    Snowmobile Trail C7

    • Snowmobile trail C7 crosses East Main Street near where the C8C trail begins. Following C7 to the north will take you roughly parallel to state Route 30, until you reach the Canadian border. If you follow C7 south instead, it will take you alongside state Highway 27 past Owls Head, then southwest past Onchiota, Lake Clear, and Tupper Like, and finally into St. Lawrence County. In addition, the stretch of C7 south of Owls Head gives you access to a number of other snowmobile trails, including C8A and S78B, which lead into Clinton county; and C7B which heads south toward Lake Placid.

    Snowmobile Trail S78

    • You can access snowmobile trail S78 south of Owl's Head by following State Highway 27 when it turns west. S78 then heads northwest past Lake Titus, and southwest again to meet Route 26. From there it heads west to St. Regis Falls. South of St. Regis Falls it meets the C8 and, eventually, the S81A trail. The C8 is the only trail that leads to Paul Smiths, though from there it is only a short ride west to the C7.
