Plowing Trails on Mascoma Lake
For Mascoma Lake Skating enthusiasts 2/27/26
Garrett went out yesterday and cleared the snow where he could, but the trail is not skateable at the moment - and outlook for weekend is not good. There's water under the snow which is skimming over and creating hazards for breaking through. Lowery Property will work on it as appropriate but with the warm temps tomorrow, we may not get it frozen enough on the surface to plow again.
PS If you would like any more information, or would like to get involved, please reach out to us at MascomaLakeSkating@gmail.com.
See you on the Ice!
Ice Safety is Everyone's Responsibility. Please review Ice Safety Video above and be prepared when on the ice!
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Skaters Role in Determining Ice Safety
- Similar to all other recreational activities on Mascoma Lake, skating is at the public's own risk.
- Conditions on Mascoma Lake can change quickly; ice thickness, can go from safe to unsafe overnight. We, the MLSA and the people providing plowing services, will not be monitoring, inspecting or testing ice thickness on a regular basis. Therefore, skaters must evaluate ice safety for themselves.
- DO NOT EVER SKATE NEAR OR UNDER THE BRIDGE. THIS ICE IS LESS THICK THERE AND NEVER CONSIDERED TO BE SAFE TO SKATE OR WALK ON.
- The MLSA is a community funded and volunteer run group. We clear areas of Mascoma Lake for skating with our goal to provide skating areas for families, free skating, pond hockey and Nordic trails. Please refer to ice safety charts for details and guidelines.
