Snowmobile Accidents in New Hampshire
New Hampshire’s scenic trails make it a popular destination for snowmobilers, but the sport comes with risks. Speeding, inexperience, mechanical issues, and unfamiliar terrain often contribute to crashes. Rental snowmobiles, in particular, pose additional hazards, as riders may not be fully accustomed to handling them in varying conditions.
Jericho State Park and other popular trail systems see heavy traffic during peak riding seasons, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Riders are encouraged to wear protective gear, follow posted speed limits, and undergo safety training to reduce accident risks.
