"Provides a safe place for walking, jogging, bicycling, in-line skating and cross country skiing." is what the WOW trail is intended to be.

Is snowmobiling compatable with the above activities on the narrow corridor of the Winnisquam-Opechee-Winnipesaukee, www.wowtrail.org?

While you as a snowmobiler call it a win-win situation, methinks that people who want to walk, jog, bike, skate, or xc ski would call sharing the narrow trail with snowmobiles very much a lose-lose situation.

Snowmobiles have nothing in common with walking, jogging, biking or xc skiing. As many know, snowmobiles can go very fast with speeds up to 80mph and higher and the two-stroke machines have a very loud high pitched noise, and place lots of two-stroke oil fumes into the air which stinks and lingers.
