Vermont’s Calvin Coolidge State Forest, sprawling across the rugged landscape near Plymouth, is a premier destination for winter thrill-seekers. This two-hour backcountry snowmobile tour covers 25 miles of pristine trails, offering riders a chance to experience varied terrain—from steep, adrenaline-pumping hills to open, smooth straightaways that invite you to push full throttle. The forest’s dense stands of spruce and maple, frosted with fresh snow, create an immersive winter playground framed by rolling mountain ridges and crystal-clear streams partially iced over in the depths of winter.
What sets this snowmobile experience apart is its balance of excitement and comfort. The guided route allows riders to set their own pace, whether that means a fast, pulse-racing run or a relaxed cruise soaking in the serene wintry landscape. Every twist and turn offers a fresh vista, with opportunities to spot wildlife such as white-tailed deer or the occasional red fox darting through the trees. The local terrain’s natural diversity highlights Vermont’s rugged beauty and offers a genuine feel for its backcountry wilderness.
Plymouth is not only the gateway to these trails but also a charming small town with rich New England history. Located within the Green Mountain National Forest region, Calvin Coolidge State Forest gets its name from the 30th President of the United States, who was born nearby.
