Have a safe + fun Labor Day Weekend
Fall is almost here! ATV riders will be in their glory, cruising through Maine's vast forests and along rivers, basking in the views, and enjoying much needed time outside. These miles of trails, spanning and interconnecting across the state, are possible thanks to generous private landowners.?
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.
- Register your ATV.?
