Bay Lake Sno-Packers

The Bay Lake Sno-Packers are from Bay Lake and the surrounding area. Anyone is welcome to join. We are more of a social snowmobile club because we are lucky to have Garrison groom to us from the south and the SnoSerpents groom to us from the north. Therefore we are one of the two clubs in the CWCSTA that do not groom, however we do partner with the SnoSerpents for safety training as well as Garrison for trail preparation and the annual Landowners Appreciation Dinner.

Baxter Snowmobile Club

Located in the heart of the Brainerd Lakes area, the club has developed and
maintained the most highly used trails in the state of Minnesota. In the 1960’s,
the club used a snowmobile and a bed spring to groom trails. Today, we groom
over 100 miles of snowmobile trails with the use of a John Deere tractor.

Gull Lake Drifters

The Gull Lake Drifters Snowmobile club is located in the heart of Minnesota’s central lakes area. We groom 120 miles of trails in both Crow Wing and Cass counties including the Pillsbury State Forest, and trails in Nisswa, Lake Shore and Pequot Lakes area. Our trails are easily accessed from many area resorts, motels and restaurants. We were incorporated as a club on November 20, 1967 and have promoted the sport since then. The club is a member of the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce.

Merrifield Marathons

The Merrifield Marathons is a snowmobile and social club. Activities are held throughout the year. Along with maintaining our current trail system, we believe strongly in both being a part of and giving back to our community. We do this by giving to local charities and annually giving scholarships to area high school seniors. Our clubhouse, the Marathon’s Center, is also available to community organizations or individuals for a small fee. Feel free to join us at our weekly Meat Raffle held every Tuesday at 5:30 PM at the Half Moon Saloon in Merrifield. It is a great spot to quench your thirst, have dinner and get to meet some of our members.
