Snapshot
This section offers a very beautiful and almost entirely level ski along the shore of Harriman Reservoir and the Deerfield River. The first mile is shared with snowmobiles.
Length
10.1 miles (16.25 km)
Difficulty
This is an easy ski, with a few short climbs that can be walked if needed. There are no intermediate access points for the first seven miles along this section, so allow plenty of time to ski this portion.
Staying Found
Out in the woods keeping track of where you are can be a challenge. A map and compass is always a reliable option, but there are some great technological solutions that can make knowing where you are super simple. Please visit out Staying Found Webpage for more info about some of our favorite navigational tools, and note that all of our PDF maps are geo-referenced. This means they can be opened directly in apps like Avenza and used for navigation even in areas where there is no cell service.
