About Us

The Knox Trail riding experience would not be possible without the cooperation of private land owners who allow our trails to cross their land.  The Knox Trail Sno Riders sends out a great big THANK YOU to these great friends!

Knox Trail Sno-Riders, Inc. is a snowmobile club located in East Otis, MA . It’s purpose is to promote the sport of snowmobiling and maintain an infrastructure of cleared , marked, and groomed snowmobile trails across private and public property. Formed in 1971, the club has been helping to provide a great riding experience in the Southern Berkshires region for nearly 40 years.

Dozens of volunteers work hard to bring you this great experience! Many duties are performed, some evident, and some not so. These activities include, but aren't limited to :

Trail construction and trimming, building bridges, installing and
removing seasonal fences, sign-age, and access ramps, landowner negotiation for trail rights of way, purchase, construction, maintenance, and operation of a fleet of snowmobile groomers, tracked groomers, and drags, maintaining chainsaws and associated trail working tools, organizing and operating fund raising events and raffles, volunteering of time and knowledge to procure custom clothing and articles to raise funds, operating venues at local events, hosting a world class Snowmobile Safety Program, maintaining a website, producing a newsletter, mailing of timely materials , publishing a map, managing club assets, organizing club meetings and recording of club minutes, maintaining insurance and leases, keeping local merchants supplied with trail passes and related materials, participating in Snowmobile of Association of Massachusetts (SAM*) meetings and events, and applying for grants.

This list cannot be complete! There is always something to do and volunteers are always welcome. Can that new volunteer be you?

*SAM is an association of 36 Massachusetts based snowmobile clubs, helping to make the state a destination of choice for snowmobiling individuals and families.
