Description

AMC grooms 90 miles of interconnected ski trails around and linking their wilderness lodges. The trails are open to the public. The ski trails around Little Lyford Lodge loop up to Mountain Brook, skirt the flanks of Indian Mountain and follow the banks of the West Branch of the Pleasant River. The trails vary from easy to most difficult. For a detailed map that includes trail names, click here.

Care should always be taken when crossing frozen waterways in the winter. Check in online for up-to-date conditions before you use the trails.

Little Lyford Lodge features private cabins and a bunkhouse as well as fresh-cooked breakfast and dinner. For more information about the lodge, visit AMC's website

After a mile the road's name changes to East Road. After 2 miles the road becomes gravel and its name changes again to the KI Road. Proceed for 8 miles to the Winter Parking Lot. The trails from the winter parking lot are described on the Hedgehog Gate Loop trail posting.
