Pomerleau Park access to Downtown Newport 2025
Wednesday, February 5, 2025 12:34 PM
You
can now ride safely into Pomerleau Park in downtown Newport. Park your
sleds in Pomerleau Park and walk into downtown Newport to enjoy
eateries and more. This is all due to the NCM's involvement with the
VOREC Grant to support the city's goal of having a four-season
recreation enonomy. In past years, you were unable to access the
bridge. This is a tremendous asset for snowmobilers and downtown
Newport. And we have snow! Take advantage and enjoy. Click on image to

Bridge Work Fall of 2024 for the 2025 Season
October 12, 2024
Today
we re-decked a bridge that really needed it. We used recycled guard
rail for the deck, which has a life span of 75 years plus so it should
be around for a good long time. Thank you to our volunteers that
continuously make projects like these possible. Thank you Don Bennett,
Bill Holbrook, George St. Onge, Roger Guay, Dillon Chaffee, Doug Runne
& Steve Dalpe for a job Very Well Done! Thank you Dave Aho for
picking up the materials and getting them delivered to the site. We
really appreciate it!

Today
we rebuilt a bridge that was rotting away and no longer safe. We
stripped it down to the poles and replaced the old decking with
galvanized guard rail. Then a thin layer of dirt was laid on top. This
is great for wildlife and we have actually seen deer tracks all over
these types of bridges. We then built the railing out of pressure
treated lumber and it came out really great. Thank you to Don Bennett,
Dillon Chaffee, Grant Stelter, Lance Wells, Tim Combies, Steve Dalpe,
Roger Guay, Marcel Roy, Bill Holbrook & Dave Aho. It takes a team
to get these projects completed and our team of volunteers did a great
job getting this bridge looking awesome.

Saturday, October 28, 2023:
The NCM's have been out in full force getting trails ready for the up
coming season. We had some pretty bad wash outs and we have been busy
getting them repaired. With the help of several club volunteers (Steve
Dalpe, David Aho, Marcel Roy, Bill Holbrook, Roger Piette & George
St. Once) we have been able to get a lot of trail work completed. We
would like to thank Todd Scelza with Scelza Excabating for the help
hauling material into a part of the trail where only a track vehicle
could go. We would also like to thank Dan St. Onge for the use of his
loader to load the track truck. We would also like to thank our amazing
landowners for not only allowing the trails on your property, but for
allowing us to maintain our trails, year after year. It's appreciated
more than you can ever know!
