Crisp, sunny days enable our watershed residents to participate in those invigorating winter outdoor activities for which Maine is so famous. Especially in January and February when the ice is sufficiently frozen, a lake free of snow provides a mammoth rink for skaters, ice-boaters and ice fishermen. If snow covers the ice, cross-country skiers and snowmobilers share the open terrain. The trail at Dodge Point in Newcastle doubles as a walking path and cross-country trail. Contact DLWA Office at 549-3836 for more skiing information.

A local snowmobile club, the SnoPackers, has been formed to maintain a 75-mile trail system in Jefferson and Nobleboro. The club offers group rides, a club event (radar runs) on Damariscotta Lake and a club trip in late January or February dependent on ice and snow conditions. For further information about the snowmobile club, contact Joe Bodnar at 549-3253.
