We're requesting the public’s assistance in clearing Main Street to allow for proper snow removal and street maintenance.

Several snowmobiles have been parked for extended periods along Main Street, preventing crews from plowing effectively. If you have a snowmobile parked on Main Street and it is covered with snow, please ensure it is removed by tomorrow night (Thursday January 8th).

Snowmobiles remaining after this time may be subject to citation and towing so crews can safely maintain the roadway.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping keep Main Street safe and accessible for everyone. Thank you.

We hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas and New Years Eve.

If you still need to get your city/state park snowmobile registration the Police Department Lobby will be open 1/2/26 - 1/4/26 from 10a-6p to give you the opportunity to purchase it. The cost is $15.

Also, please review the below links for safe operation and parking matters relative to snowmobiling. Have a safe and enjoyable winter season.
