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. 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.
With thousands of miles of beautiful trails across the state, we know you are looking forward to riding! Please remember that many of Maine’s ATV trails do not open until after Memorial Day weekend and several trails will remain closed for an extended period due to storm damage. Always check with the local club to make sure the trails are open. We hope you have a safe, memorable season on the trails.
