We build, mark, and keep up snowmobile trails for your convenience. You may ride on them at your own risk. The NIASC assumes no liability. Please ensure you abey all federal, state, and local laws while snowmobiling. Please observe the following:

  • No snowmobiling without sufficient snow.
  • Stay on marked trails and do not  trespass or ride where prohibited. Respect land owners property and rights.
  • Protect living trees, shrubs and other natural features. Do not chase or harass wildlife.

In accordance with Illinois Snowmobiling Law, Article 5, Section 2:

It is unlawful for any person to drive or operate any snowmobile on a highway in this state except as follows:

a.) On Highways other than tollways, interstate highways and fully or limited access-controlled highways, snowmobiles may make a direct crossing provided:

  • The crossing is made at an angle of approximately 90 degrees to the direction of the highway and at a place where no obstruction prevents a quick and safe crossing; and
  • The snowmobile  is brought to a complete stop before crossing a roadway; and
  • The operator yields the right of way to all oncoming traffic that  constitutes a hazard.

b.) On highways other than tollways, interstate highways and fully or limited access-controlled highways, snowmobiles may be operated not less than 10 feet from the roadway and in the same direction as traffic.
