Be a safe, responsible ATV and snowmobile rider by completing a safety course
Riding an ATV or snowmobile is a great way to enjoy the Maine outdoors. It's important to ride safely, responsibly, and to be prepared before you go. Many of Maine's ATV and snowmobile trails reside on private land. Respecting these generous private landowners by riding responsibly is critical to maintaining trail access in Maine.
Consider completing an ATV and snowmobile safety course to be a more safe and prepared operator! Maine offers safety courses online and in-person.
This month Maine introduced a NEW combined ATV and snowmobile course that can be taken completely online (for ages 12 and older). The online course is $34.95 (course fees go to the vendor who produced the online course). This course combines both ATV and Snowmobile content, and while snowmobile education is not mandated by law, it is encouraged. Many of the in-person courses also combine both snowmobile and ATV information.
We hope to see you on the trails or at a course soon!
Do you need Maine ATV/Snowmobile education?
In Maine, youth ages 10 to under 16, must successfully complete ATV safety certification to operate an ATV on land other than their own. While snowmobile safety education is not currently mandatory in Maine, it is included in this course. *May be required in another state.
