Lambert Farms
New PistonBully
The Buckaroos of 302 in Groton, VT, held their first club meeting in 1968. Our membership numbers have grown up to the 700 range! We are responsible for the maintenance and grooming of ~60 miles of VAST trails. These trails are in the Groton State Forest, Groton, Peacham, Ryegate and Topsham. Our trails are traditionally known to be at the beginning of the snow belt that connects via VAST corridor trails through Danville, East Burke, Island Pond and Canaan.
Grooming
The Club has an agreement with VAST that Lambert Farm Grooming contracts to groom our trail system. Lambert Farm Grooming is a private contractor owned by Jesse Lambert. The grooming equipment includes a state-of-the-art PistonBully, a 10 foot wide groomer with a 9 foot tall brush bar.
Annual BBQ: Dick Page Ride-In
Each year on the 2nd Saturday in February, the Buckaroos of 302 host the Dick Page Ride-In Chicken BBQ at the Town Garage in Groton. This BBQ is a “Thank You” dinner for our local landowners and all snowmobilers.
Find Us
Our trail system is conveniently accessed just 10 minutes west of I-91, ext 17, on Route 302. From I-89, use exits 6 or 7, take Route 302 East for about 20 miles to Groton.
