You can recreate responsibly by using the links below to help find places near you to hike and recreate safely. Try both statewide agencies and land trusts as well as regional land trusts, and don't forget your own town. Most municipalities have some open lands or a town forest with hiking trails... check with your town's conservation commission or recreation department.
*Remember to check with the land owner(s) before you go to see if parking areas are plowed!* Here is a list of 12 Forest Society reservations that have plowed parking in the winter.
