Hit the Trails This Winter: Snowmobiling at Cottage Place on Squam Lake

Billie Agey • January 16, 2026

Winter is here, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than exploring the trails around Squam Lake on a snowmobile. At Cottage Place on Squam Lake, we’re excited to welcome snowmobilers to stay with us and bring their machines to experience all that this beautiful region has to offer.


Our property is perfectly located for snowmobile adventures. With trail entrances just across Little Squam Lake, you’ll have easy access to miles of scenic routes. We provide trail maps on site, so you can plan your ride and explore safely.


For those who prefer digital planning, we also recommend downloading the app SledNH2026 for $5 a year. The app shows which trails are open, where gas stations are along your route, and other helpful trail information to make your rides easier and more enjoyable.


Crossing Little Squam Lake from Cottage Place is the quickest route to access the trails during your stay. While the lake is a stunning winter playground, please remember that the ice is never completely safe. Always use caution when traveling across or near the lake to ensure a fun and safe adventure.


If you’d rather not cross iced-over Little Squam Lake, you can always trailer over to Ashland Town Beach and access trail P204. Go through the town campground to access Ashland, Bridgewater, Holderness and Meredith. Go over the covered bridge, across Route 3 to access Plymouth, Campton and Rumney.


Don’t forget, we also offer late checkout at 1 PM for $25 or early check-in at 2 PM, giving you extra flexibility during the winter months so you can hit the trails without worrying about check-in or check-out times.


We offer additional parking at the back and along the sides of our property for snowmobile trailers. You can visit the map on our website to view our additional parking locations, so you can bring the crew or just the two of you for a weekend getaway.


Whether you’re traveling with friends or family, we have accommodations to fit your group. Book our larger spaces like the Lodge or Apartment for bigger groups, or choose one of our cabins or suites for a cozy weekend getaway for just a couple of people.


After a day on the trails, return to the comfort of your cabin or suite. Relax by the faux fireplace, enjoy the views from our private beach, and swap stories about the day’s ride. Cottage Place on Squam Lake is the perfect home base for your snowmobiling adventure.



Book your winter stay today and experience the perfect mix of cozy accommodations and thrilling winter adventure right here at Squam Lake.


We want to extend our sincere thanks to the Squam Trail Busters for providing trail maps for Cottage Place and our guests. Your support helps make every snowmobile adventure around Squam Lake safer and more enjoyable. We truly appreciate your dedication to keeping the trails accessible and fun for everyone.


Thank you for helping our guests explore and enjoy all that this beautiful area has to offer!
