Quad County Snowmobile Club was formed 17 years ago to develop a marked trail system in Allegany, Livingston, Ontario and Steuben Counties in Western New York State.   In 1996, we became incorporated as a non-profit organization and have over 60 members.  In 2008 our application for membership in the New York State Snowmobile Association was accepted.  We now enjoy the benefits that come with this membership.  It is our goal, along with developing trails, to improve  public relations, increase safety awareness and help make this a safer winter pastime.  As a club, we have sponsored Youth Safety Courses, made cash donations to local Ambulance Services and the Loon Lake Fireworks Display and held dice runs with the proceeds going to Camp Good Days.  We seek to promote this winter activity as a family sport and feel snowmobiling is an excellent means of teaching our youth responsibility, respect for others and having an appreciation for nature and the environment. 

As with any leisure activity, challenges will arise that take hard work and coorperation to overcome.  Most of the trails local riders use in our area have been ridden for many years.  We seek from landowners permission to access their property and mark trails, which will enable us to provide landowners with a $2,000,000 Insurance Policy.  Other clubs, whether in New York, Maine or Wisconsin, have found that when landowner permission is granted, the trails are properly signed and maintained.  Snowmobilers are also more willing to comply and police their own, in reference to the state and local rules and regulations.

We encourage all snowmobilers to join a club.
