According to the Scramblers, “The East Cottage Grove Scramblers Snowmobile Club has been around since the early 70’s. Many current club members are related to founding and past members living in Old Cottage Grove, Cottage Grove, Denmark Township and Hastings areas.”
The Scramblers added that their hope is to keep the sport of snowmobiling alive. The hobby has been quickly fading away as the land in Cottage Grove turns into housing developments. Help them reintroduce this amazing winter sport back into the lives of everyone: families, kids and neighbors.
The club grooms 50-plus miles of trails.
