Maine ATV Trails and Events

ATV /Four Wheeling

ATV riding has grown in popularity in the past few years and you will find some of the best ATV trails in Maine in the Jackman-Moose River Region; over 300+ miles that will take you through unspoiled wilderness and on up to scenic vistas. From Jackman you can ride south to the Forks, east toward Rockwood and as of July 21, 2007, you can go north across the Canadian border into Quebec, offering you even more places to explore.

Spend the night, the weekend, or a week and enjoy all that our region can offer. You can access ATV trails from many of the accommodations listed on the directory as well as from most restaurants, stores, and gas stations in town. Or, if you choose to only ride for the day, you can park your trailer at the Border Riders Clubhouse.

Trail maps are available at the Chamber of Commerce Booth, at many local businesses in town and on line at Border Riders Club. Our trails are clearly marked to provide hours of safe and fun riding. If you are new to the area and prefer a guided tour, some businesses do offer this. Check with your lodging host or the Chamber of Commerce for more information on guided tours.

ATV Season usually open Memorial Day Weekend; the exact date depends on when the snow melts and the ground dries out and they stay open until mid-November. Please contact the Border Riders Club for specific dates and information.
