Winter Activities

ENJOY THE MAGIC OF WINTER AT THE CASTLE

The nearly 30 miles of wooded trails maintained by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust are the perfect place to experience the winter beauty of the estate and the Castle Conservation Area. Enjoy cross-country skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing throughout the winter months.

Please note: Due to trail damage, snowmobile access to the Carriage House is not available this winter. Please check with the Moultonborough Snowmobile Club for the availability of other local snowmobile trails to enjoy.
