Fossil Creek Trail, in the White Mountains National Recreation Area, is an 18.8 mile trail maintained for winter snowmobiling, skiing, dog mushing, snowshoeing, and fat-biking.

Fossil Creek Trail starts at the north end of Wickersham Creek Trail near the Borealis-LeFevre Cabin on the north side of Beaver Creek Wild and Scenic River.
