AS OF 5/16/25, THE CLUB PROPERTY IS OPEN. *Check Facebook for details*
Same rules apply. Club update: the main property will open Friday morning. Very important if you are planning to bringing a camper up for a site on little John east of the camp 2 road junction you must come in from the east gate as the culvert is not fixed yet. Come in from the Montague side of Tug Hill to access your camp. Glann Ave and South Gate are closed to vehicle traffic except atvs/ side by sides. Yes, you can access from South Gate but ATVs ONLY, as roads are rough and under repair. Also all trails are closed. Main roads only until the woodland trails are inspected and dry up so more. It’s been a long hard winter please tread lightly. Welcome back members.
The Mad River Club offers quality hunting, fishing, and trapping opportunities to its membership.
We pride ourselves in our awareness and involvement in the issues that concern all sportsmen.
