Located midway between the Twin Cities and Fargo-Moorhead, the Douglas Area Trails Association maintains 380 miles of snowmobile trails in west central Minnesota’s Hardwood Hills and River Prairie landscapes. Dotted with numerous lakes, Douglas County’s DATA Trails offer a real combination of open flatlands to heavily wooded and often hilly riding. Snowmobilers often comment about the spectacular views afforded by many scenic locations, and abundant wildlife they encounter while riding. Every community in Douglas County is commented by trail, so you are never far from food, gas, services, or accommodations. 36 miles of our system is the blacktopped, multi-use Central Lakes Trail which connects us to Fergus Falls to the north or the St. Cloud Area to the south, and provides quick and easy access to trails all across Douglas County. Our 4 Tucker Sno Cats provide twice a week grooming during the height of the winter season.
- Landowner permission to operate the DATA Trail exists only from December 1st of each year to the 30th of March. The only permissible use is for snowmobiling!
- The actual opening date for trail usage depends on the local trail association's announcement that conditions are safe and there is sufficient snow cover.
- Please respect the property of our landowners by staying on the trail! Remember that there are no other usages allowed.
- Our trails are patrolled by both the Douglas County Sheriff's department and our local Conservation Officers.

DATA will not be holding the annual fall fundraising banquet this year. We are planning some winter rides with the help of some of our trail map advertisers.
We would like to incorporate a meal and prizes into one or more of the rides.
Thanks to the many snowmobilers who renewed their memberships and stopped in at Ollies's Service during this promotion. The $10 per member we earned went toward the purchase of a used drag for the newly acquired Tucker Sno Cat.
