About Us

Snowmobile Friendly Community

Welcome to the Prior Lake Snowmobile Association club site!  Our mission is to keep and maintain the wonderful trail system around Prior Lake and Scott County.


Our non-profit organization consisting of ~120 members with a purpose of promoting snowmobiling in the community.


Your snowmobile club membership dues provide support for the 250 miles of trails locally in Scott County, and the 22,000 miles across the State of Minnesota. You may not know that 80% of trails in Minnesota snowmobile trails are not maintained by the DNR.  They are maintained by clubs like ours.  We are here to make sure the trails remain available for years to come!


Help Our Trails

If you are not a club member but enjoy our trails in Scott County, we would welcome a donation. Your support and contributions will enable us to continue to maintain our trails, equipment and improve conditions.

Being A Trail Boss OR Groomer

What is it like to be a Trail Boss?

When the groomers are out, it's usually dark. Why, because our volunteers know that you want those trails fresh and ready to go in the morning. Did you know that each club in Scott County is responsible for providing Trail Bosses and Groomer drivers?  Sno-Trails, which all Scott County clubs rolls up to, manages all the equipment, signage, insurance, fuel and grant-in-aid funds.  There is a limited number of volunteers from each club that manages this for the rest of us.  We can always use folks to help out with the trails.  We are really in need of new Trail Bosses across the county.  Many of the folks doing this now are ready to retire or have taken on larger and larger areas as the number volunteering has dropped.  


Being a Trail Boss does not mean you go it alone, it just means you are responsible for make sure the signage gets placed properly and is maintained.  You can always request help from volunteers and folks are more than willing to help. Please consider becoming a trail boss and/or volunteering to help with trails.  REMEMBER…NO TRAIL BOSS = NO TRAIL!
