Parking Note
The CT shares parking lots with the very popular Burrows, Forest City, and Honey Hollow Trails so carpool and arrive early. Please purchase a Day Pass at camelshumpskiers.org when accessing the CT side trails from the non-profit Camel’s Hump Nordic Ski Association (CHNSA) parking lot.
Snapshot
This section provides backcountry skiing along moderately steep terrain through the Camel’s Hump State Park. It connects to the trail system of the Camel’s Hump Nordic Skiers’ Association. The Trail from the CHSA trail system north to Duxbury Rd. (River Rd.) provides an exhilarating downhill ski along the popular Honey Hollow Trail.
Length
9.4 miles
Difficulty
Moderately steep backcountry terrain, long climbs and descents, and variable conditions will be challenging for intermediately skilled skiers. We recommend skiing groups of three or more skiers. Bring climbing skins.
Note: Please consider making a donation to the Camels Hump Nordic Ski Association if you are utilizing the CT within their trail system. Donations can be made online at camelshumpskiers.org or by visiting the self-service warming hut. CHNSA Trail Map
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.
