Local Events (Madison County)
- Snowmobile Rentals owners Dave and Becky Rasmussen: Plan a trip to Central New York and let us show you the beautiful scenery as you experience the "thrill and adventure"of riding snowmobiles. Navigate your way through the extensive local trail system on your own, or let our experienced guides show you the most beautiful scenery. Our local snowmobile trails are groomed regularly and are much less traveled than those in Tug Hill or the Adirondacks, making your ride more comfortable and your experience more relaxed guided tours or go it alone with maps of the trail which has hundreds of miles of picturesque trails. Enjoy this great winter getaway!! http://snowmobilerentalsny.com/
