If you want to shorten your trip from the lake, you can drive and park in a lot on route 171 in Moultonborough. The parking lot is just down the street from the entrance to the Castle. Also keep in mind that you can't actually sled anywhere near the castle. Once you get to West Ossipee, it is an easy trip to White Lake State Park and trails to Wonalancet, Lake Chocurua, Sandwich, Conway....... keep going!

Another way to get there off the lake is to take the trails from Melvin Village which exits the lake between Melvin Village marina and the big yellow house. It's an easy trail from there to the castle property.
Zee,

Mt Shaw is open to riding. Also there is a second trail open this year (Thanks to the BOT and Mike Weeks for doing the work to re-open it) that takes you around to the East and down the back side heading to Ossippee. It is a real nice run.
Who knows maybe another trial next year?

George
