Maine?s thousands of miles of ATV trails across the state wouldn?t be possible without dedicated ATV clubs and the generosity of private landowners ? 80 percent of the state-supported ATV trail system resides on private land.
Do your part to keep Maine?s ATV trails open for generations to come:
- Stay on marked ATV trails. ATV trails have green and white signs. Remember, not all snowmobile trails are ATV trails.
- Respect closed trail signs.
- Never drink and ride.
- Drive to the right and at an appropriate speed.
- Tread lightly ? Don?t tear up the trail!
- Remember that modified exhausts are illegal.
- Be respectful on ATV access routes ? Yield to all traffic and never pass a vehicle.
- Be courteous to others when riding on multi-use trails.
- Help prevent wildlfires. Stay on marked trails. Avoid riding in dry vegetation. Discard smoking materials appropriately, and call 911 if you see a fire.
- Look for trail news and notices on the Bureau of Parks and Lands website
- Register your ATV.??For every ATV registration purchased, over 2/3 of the fee goes directly into the trail maintenance fund.
- Support a local ATV club by donating your time and/or money.
