Region East Winter Run Ideas

[MA_Trooper]

Ok, I know some of you like to brave the conditions and do some winter travel and camping. And in keeping with my thoughts on doing a regional trip every season, I want to start trying to plan something for this winter. I have no idea what it will look like at this point. So for now, I want to hear from all of you in the East region. Where do you go? Do you camp? Do you hike/snowshoe/cross country ski while you are there. I would love to know what kind of trips folks do when Old Man Winter is at his peak.
Aaaaaaand GO!

Quarry Road Trails: Snowshoe, Sledding, Biking and Skiing in Waterville, Maine.

One thing to take into account is that the trails in VT, NH, ME turn into either snowmobile or cross country skiing trails and vehicular access is closed. For the past three years I've done a "winter" trip in Maine with a few people. Not sure if it's happening this year as the organizer is not feeling up to the task and the issues in the NMW

Understood, and I realize that most if not all trails will be closed to road going vehicles. I would like to plan something, anything, even if its just some camping at a campground and hanging out.

Also, this is an East Region trip. So anything Virginia north is fair play.

Well, if you want to winter camp, you gotta go to a spot with a high potential for cold and snow.

I usually am doing day trips to New Hampshire. Hike, snowshoe and cross country ski. A lot of the secondary paved roads in the White Mountains are gated and closed for the winter as well.

If you want to do a legit winter camp, say late November, early December. I know a great place where we can camp. We would have access to a bar and restaurant as well. It's a pretty secluded place at that. I camped there last year and the landowners are amazing, and would be more than accommodating. As if you couldn't see a theme here, it's in Maine.

LOL, Sounds awesome. Definitely something to consider.
