Cedar Mountain Snowmobiling

Groomed winter trails, deep powder, and big views — with Duck Creek Village right in the middle of it all.

Cedar Mountain has gained national recognition for the wide variety of groomed trails for snowmobiling in the area. As soon as the powdery base gets to 24” of snow, the fun times begin for snowmobile riders.

Utah names their snowmobile trail systems as “complexes.” Visitors better know the Cedar Mountain / East Fork Complex as Duck Creek. The complex varies in elevation from about 8,000 ft to over 10,000 ft above sea level — so snow is typically plentiful. Due to prevailing winter winds, some snowdrifts can even range in depths of 10–20 ft.

Trails in and out of town range from wide and flat to steep and meandering — making it perfect for all skill levels. From Duck Creek you can ride toward Brian Head Ski Area, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and even to overlooks of Zion National Park.
