Maine ATV Trails - Two Days & 200 miles Abbot, Rockport and Moosehead Lake. 

Corey Williams I was in Las Vegas in November. I like visiting there. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you liked the video.

Yes it was a fun time. Thank you for posting.

Nick Frumusa Thanks Nick, I'm glad it helped you out. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks!

Yeah it was a fun time for sure. I love road trips. The more the merrier. I'm planning on going to Highland Quest this year again. It's always a good time. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you I'm glad you liked the video. I hope to get back to Maine sometime in the next couple of years. I really liked it there a lot. Thanks for watching!

I like that area. I wish it was closer to me, I'd go more often.

How wide are the trails. Will 67 make it through the gates?

@@marknoyes9611 60" is mandated for all ATV/ snowmobile trails in maine. It is what the landowners want too. If the landowners get pissed about bigger machines they can shut down their section of trail and so there goes the whole trail system for that area.

Thanks! I'm happy to hear you liked Nova Scotia. It's a pretty spot, especially Cape Breton.

ataugusta Thank you I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for posting.

It's a fun spot in Maine.

@@EastCoastATV yea ik I live in embdom and the trials are amazing. Snowmobile season is good to. I do snowmobile videos

Thank you very much, I appreciate that. Have you done the NL Trip?

EastCoastATV no but I'd love to do it with a crew. Maybe some day!

You won't regret it if you do! Take care.

ATV Overland Yeah, that would be quite a drive for you! I'd love to see the west coast and I'd really like to see the trails in West Virginia too. Thanks for commenting!

Hatfield McCoy is on our list, but we love to camp (not in campgrounds) and from what I gather, you can't camp in the back country. It'll make for a nice trip when the wives join and we stay at cabins or hotels, just a little different from what our channel is about. Regardless, impressive what they've done with the trail system.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I somehow missed your post when you first posted it. I hope you've tried running the trails and were able to find some enjoyment in it. They certainly can be fun especially if you find the right trail network. Thanks for watching, and taking the time to post a message.

Thanks for the tip! I'd love to get over there in the fall. Check out this video from Northern Nova Scotia. There are some pretty blueberry fields around the 2 minute mark ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aKBQ5lQdcEg.html.

Thanks I'm glad the video helped. There weren't a lot of nice views unfortunately like the one's you're looking for so that was a little disappointing. If you want views, check out Newfoundland. You won't believe the scenery there. Check out this video and see what I mean. There are several videos of NL if you want to check them out on my RU-vid channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7nhf3CBYmkw.html

I bought a set of maps online and installed them on my phone. At that time I was using an App called OsmAnd. The maps would work even out of cell range. It says somewhere in the video where I bought them.

Thanks for the tip!

Hey Quaddingsous thanks for watching. Since I live in Canada I had to purchase a non-resident ATV Trail Pass. It's $53 US for a 7 day pass and $68 for a year pass. We bought 1 year passes in case we decided to go back again within the year. There is usually a free ATV weekend for non-residents that live in other States or Canadian Provinces. This year it was Aug 10-12. I didn't really buy ATV Tracks but what I bought was a nice map set for Maine. It included trails, roads, gas stations, motels etc and it had high resolution satellite view maps underneath. I installed it on my phone in a GPS App called OSMand. There's nothing to keep me from sharing that information with other people I guess, but I won't. You should sell yours too, why not? Thanks for commenting. Here's the link to purchase a non-resident pass on line www.maine.gov/ifw/atv-snowmobile/atv/laws-rules.html#registration.

Ahhhhh, OK, that makes more sense (about the GPS purchase). That's a good package to have, especially knowing where all the services are located. Regarding the trail pass . . . I'm assuming it allows you to ride on the paved roads in designated areas? (to fuel up, get to your hotel, etc.) Not that I'm planning on going to Maine, but the info about the trail management is good as we are currently trying to set something like this up in Saskatchewan. Thanx for the info my friend!

It's a beautiful State for riding ATV's. I'll be back again for sure. Probably in 2022. Thanks for watching Jake!

@@EastCoastATV no problem do you have any idea what area those windmill are at?

@@jakecabral9463 Sorry not anymore, it's been too long since I've been there.

Craig Weir Many places will fit 60" or wider machines. There are a few, especially in the South Shore around Bridgewater where 60" is currently the max but I've seen 62" or bigger out there. Nova Scotia just came out with a new mandate that the trails will accommodate 64" in a few years. Maine is limited to 60" I believe but my machine is 62" and I had no problem there. Thanks for the post! Glad you liked the videos.

We are looking for places to go. I just finished building a 66" wide RZR.

There are only some places in Maine (certain landowners) that are set at 60". Most of it is down by the Stud Mill Rd. area, and some is in western Maine. Also CMP (Central Maine Power) wants 60" on their right of ways I think. A lot of people do have 64" machines here. Personally I have a 60" RZR 4 900, and it still doesn't fit through some of the gates made for the 60" areas.

We use Sena SMH 10 Bluetooth headsets. They work great. We did 125 miles that day we were pretty much miled out. We will go back though. Thanks for the nice comments and for posting.

Next time you come start in Jackman and ride to a place called Piston Farms. It’s about 130 miles round trip but very easy riding. I use UClear units now but it’s only line of site so not alway reliable. Really enjoyed your Newfoundland series. I just bought a 2019 commander 800 and the first trip out with it will be today. Thanks for the reply.

@@jonbemis749 I will take your advice on the route. Thanks for the tip. I'm glad you liked the NL series. That trip is a lot of fun. Enjoy your Commander!

No, 60" is mandated for all trails. So gates are also 60".

So what side by sides are they riding up there? My ranger is 63 inches.

Is there any trails for wider then 60? Was planing on coming to ride but just found out about the 60 inch rule. Thanks

Trevor Boutilier Thanks Trevor. The campground is called Balsam Woods Campground and it's in Abbot Maine. It's about an hour north of Bangor. They have a ton of nice Trail systems there. I'm going to keep looking around myself for another place to visit this year. I'll let you know if I find something closer to shopping centers. I'm also looking at going to New Brunswick.

Thanks Pat

Anytime.

Jason Muise Yes, we're doing that again this fall. It's only March and I can't wait already.

will be looking forward to 2018's adventure. We're headed back to the Paiute in Utah. As you said, can't wait.

I might but this year we have 12 people going. That's our max. Just get a buddy or two and you can do the trip on your own following the info on my website. www.crossingnewfoundlandbyatv.com

I can't recall seeing any endure bikes while I was there. But as far as I know the trails are open to those as well.

No most don't

Maine has over 8000 miles of atv trails

Most of the club trails don't allow dirt bikes, although most of the rail bed trails do.

Back then I was using an old iPad with a GPS app called LeadNav with a waterproof case. Now I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab E with Locus Maps Pro. I much prefer Locus Maps. Any tablet or cell phone with a GPS chip, which is most of them, will act as a great GPS for you. Download your maps so you don't need cell signal and the GPS still works great. Go to my website product review page and scroll down until you see the tablet cases. I hope that helps. www.crossingnewfoundlandbyatv.com/product-reviews
