Your guide to snowmobiling in iowa



The Iowa State Snowmobile Association (ISSA) has been serving the Iowa snowmobiling community since 1973. Through a dedicated membership of 57 snowmobile clubs, the association has helped to maintain an expansive fleet of groomers and a trail system comprising 8,800 miles. Since 2017, the ISSA has also managed snowmobile registration receipts and distributed those funds through annual trail grants. The ISSA is a dues-paying member of the American Council of Snowmobile Associations, and each June, our organization sends delegates to the International Snowmobile Congress. We also host a state convention each November.
