Simple communication works.
Most snowmobilers are well behaved and thoughtful. Yes, there are some bad apples, but in general snowmobilers and the economic activity they bring to the Lakes Region are beneficial to the masses. By the way, if you do decide to come ashore do so soon as the ice will be getting quite thin in the not so distant future.

Secondcurve, I believe the "trail" in question is simply an old work road that goes through the woods on Rattlesnake. To my knowledge, it's not really a "snowmobile trail" at all, but more a path that snowmobilers have found, and it ends at Rattler's property. As far as I know, it's not a "trail" that any snowmobile club maintains, and it is on private property. I think IG's advice, and that of the other posters, is correct ... to post the property and put up a very obvious barricade of some kind to let folks know that's the end of the trail, and that they have to turn around a go back the way they came.
