Mount Blue State Park Conditions & Activities

Park & Trail Conditions

| The warm weather and rain have created large bare spots on the ski trails and have exposed many rocks. While stretches are still skiable, you would need to remove your skis and walk for significant distances in between the skiable stretches. The snowshoe trails have likewise begun to melt and, while useable in places, are very slushy. Snowmobile trails have closed for the season. The ice rink is no longer skateable. Spring appears to be nearly upon us!
