Snowmobiling

Hitting the snowmobile trails is a great way to spend the day.

Imagine flying across a meadow and over yonder hill, taking flight from the world we know as you speed along the many exciting trails that criss-cross Maine's Lakes and Mountains; every twist and turn leads to a snowmobiling adventure.

Trail riding aboard a snowmobile is one of the best ways to enjoy the Lakes and Mountains' stunning landscape. Just rev up the engine and ride. With over 3,000 miles of Maine trails maintained by local riding clubs, you'll always find new places to explore. The extensive trail system offers incredible scenery, fragrant pine forests, and wide-open plains—from those on our Public Reserved Lands and state parks to local trails or those designated for just ATVs and snowmobiles.

Shared-use trails are precisely that; they can be used for hiking, snowshoeing, ATV riding, Nordic skiing, off-road biking, snowmobiling, and horseback riding. But, not all the trails are for all uses. So know before you go and respect the rules for the safety and enjoyment of all.
