The East Grand Snowmobile Club is centered around Danforth, Maine and grooms trails from Hainesville and Orient in the north, through Danforth and on to Brookton in the south. Western trails connect with the Springfield Club's trails. Northern connections are with trails in the greater Houlton Area including Linneus, Oakfield and Maine's International Trail System (ITS). Connections with Topsfield go south from Brookton. Most of the eastern boundary of our area is East Grand Lake and the Canadian Province of New Brunswick.

EGSC Trails are numbered:

105 - The Main North/South trail leads from Linneus' Trails thru Danforth
105 - Leaves Danforth and goes SW to Schillinger Rd. and Springfield's Trails
7 - South and East from the Weston area along EGL toward Topsfield's Trails.

Our former
Trail 11 - East on the Powerline between our 105 and North Lake and EGL in Orient is now under the care of the Linneus Sno-Sports Club.

The EGSC holds irregular meetings usually at the Weston Town Office at 5 Church Lane just off US Route 1...just south of and across from the new Million Dollar View Scenic Turnout and just north of the Pewter Loon.
