Winter Activities

If cycling in winter sounds a little nuts, that’s because you haven’t yet gotten hooked by the incredible thrill of rolling through the snowy landscape on a pedal-powered fat bike. The extra wide, knobby-grippy tires keep you on track, offering a great way to see the area trails.

From a casual skate on Haley Pond to the annual Rangeley Pond Hockey Festival, skating is a popular pastime. Come enjoy free skating and even free loaner skates courtesy of the Rangeley Skating Club.

The Rangeley Lakes Trails Center is a true gem, located just off the Saddleback access road. Volunteer maintained and operated, RLTC offers 50 KM of nordic ski trails and snowshoeing trails with groomed and natural surfaces.

Ask any New England snowmobiler to name their favorite snowmobiling destination, and there’s a good chance you’ll hear the word “Rangeley.” With 170-miles of impeccably groomed trails that connect to a massive interstate network, it’s no wonder why.

For many, the go-anywhere stability and choose-your-pace of snowshoes is the key to unlocking winter’s charm. Head over to the Rangeley Lakes Trails Center, which offers snowshoe rentals and access to their 50 KM groomed trail system, along with ungroomed snowshoe-specific routes.
