Welcome to the OVSC!

UPDATED: March 20, 2024

ALL TRAILS CLOSED FOR THE 23/24 SEASON: thanks to all that attended our final meeting of the very short 23/24 season. The Trailmaster has closed all trails and shut all gates. We want to thank all of you that joined the Club, made a donation or simply enjoyed our system. And a special thank-you to all our gracious landowners, who make it all possible! We will pick up right where we left off and be meeting soon to work on our Grant in Aid, plan trail work and start gathering materials for more bridge repairs. Check back here or at our Facebook page this Spring & Summer as we reach out with news, updates and occasional requests for an extra pair of hands…

The Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club is dedicated to the preservation and protection of our forest lands. We believe the sharing and education of the environment is the best way to keep the public interested and aware of the issues concerning our forest lands. We welcome all those who wish to enjoy the outdoor environment of the Ossipee Valley.

The Ossipee Valley Snowmobile Club maintains trails in the Ossipee, Effingham, Tamworth, Albany, Wonalancet, Conway (Corridor 19) and Whiteface Intervale (leading to Sandwich Notch) areas of New Hampshire.  The OVSC Trail System travels South on 19 to Ossipee Lake and Effingham and continuing to Polly’s Crossing thru Ossipee Village on the historic rail bed and connects to the Seven Lakes SMC area to the South and the Wolfeboro club trails to the West. To the North on Corridor 19 to the intersection with the Scrub Oak Scramblers System to Freedom, Madison and points East. Continuing North on 19 to Conway and the  Kancamaugus Highway and the Mountain Meadows Riders Trails.

Due to several landowners no longer granting trail permissions, White Lake State Park no longer connects with our trails at the foot of Mt Chocorua, Paugus and Whiteface in the WHITE MTN NAT’L FOREST, HEMENWAY STATE FOREST, BIG PINE NATURAL AREA and trails thru Wonalancet and Tamworth leading to the Whiteface Intervale and Sandwich Intervale and beyond to Sandwich Notch and the Sandwich Sidehillers area. Please check our trail conditions page in season for trailer and parking locations to access those trails!

You will see many miles of trails with beautiful views, frozen lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, hilltop lookouts and deep woods riding.

OVSC also maintains local services trails. At the south end of Ossipee Lake Rte 25 commerce is served by our system in Effingham. In the West Ossipee area OVSC maintains the trails servicing businesses along Rte 16 and Rte 25 which also gain access to the Castle Trail.

Remember that the OVSC TRAIL SYSTEM is multi use. These trails include State Corridor 19 and trails connecting to other club systems along it’s length.  Also the WMNF, HEMENWAY STATE FOREST and BIG PINE NATURAL AREA as well as  land generously given permission to maintain and ride on by private landowners for winter recreation and are all multi use also.

WINTER RECREATION INCLUDES: HIKING, SNOWSHOEING, SLED DOG RACING, CROSS COUNTRY SKIING as well as SNOWMOBILING. BEWARE OF FELLOW USERS OF THE TRAIL SYSTEM AND RESPECT THE RULES OF TRAIL USE!
