Here are three locations for snowshoeing and cross country skiing in Cornish.
Lipfert Forest
Thanks to the Lipfert family, this vast network of privately owned and managed trails is open for public access and enjoyment. The trails are located on land that formerly constituted the King Elm, Balloch, Haubrich and Dahms Farms. The 1940s King Elm Farm Sugar House has been restored and is open to visitors. An extensive trail system connects to the Cornish Town Forest. The property is open to hunting. In season, be sure to leave gates as you found them with chains secured.

St Gaudens National Historic Park
Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of America’s greatest sculptors, lived here seasonally starting in 1885, and year-round 1900 until his death in 1907. The park has open fields, trails through the woods, and several of Saint-Gaudens bronze sculptures on view throughout the year. The sunsets from the porch of the main house are beautiful!
