About the Snomads

  

The Mapleplain Snomads was established in 2011 and has since merged with the Loretto Sno Birds. We are a group of snowmobilers and families that love local riding. Members are from all over the West Metro area from Lake Minnetonka to Corcoran and Delano to Plymouth . The club consists of between 60 -70 Members. We are always looking for new members. The club maintains roughly 70 miles of trails including the Luce Line. Snomads is part of North West Trails County Association. Since its inception the Snomads have been avidly involved in building a trail shelter, accrued the Luce line and added multiple trails to Lake Minnetonka. Our mission is to work with local municipalities, law enforcement, restaurant owners, business owners and land owners to continue a sport we all love.

Stay On Trail

Do I have to be a Snomads member to use the shelter on the Luce Line

Stay On Trail

We love snowmobiling, thats why we are here right?  Its Simple, stay on the trail or we will loose it.  Stay to the right side of the trail when approaching oncoming traffic, leave stakes and signs in tact.
