Maine offers 100,000 snowmobilers every year, a quality trail system and snow. Trails abound, Maine offers more than 13,000 miles of interconnected routes, and support for the trailers and accommodations for the riders.  The popularity of Snowmobile Clubs are huge in Maine.

For snowmobilers, winter in Maine is filled with travel, adventures and the camaraderie of those who enjoy the crisp fresh air and changeable landscape of the season. Last year over 102,000 snowmobilers found winter adventure on the Maine snowmobile trail system, exploring the state, visiting winter festivals and events and sharing the experience with outdoor enthusiasts with a passion for snow riding. Day tripping from home or trailering far from home, snowmobilers seek the same thing - well groomed, well marked trails. Forty years of trail development by snowmobile club volunteers have produced a system of over 13,500 miles of such trails in Maine. Several thousand miles are designated as the ‘Interconnected Trail System’, a connected network of travel providing long distance riding across the state. In a good snow year, riders may access the ITS at any chosen location and snowmobile to any other location in the system.  The one thing snowmobile clubs can’t control is snowfall - some years it’s chicken, some years it’s feathers. The 08-09 season was extraordinary - deep snow blanketed the state from Kittery to Fort Kent, and snowmobilers reveled in an extended riding season that didn’t want to end! Think snow…  Wherever that snow lands this winter, there’s most likely an MSA club in the area that has been preparing for its arrival for months. Volunteers have consulted with landowners, brushed out the trail, built and repaired bridges, posted signage and, as grooming begins, are ready to welcome riders to their trails.

MSA snowmobile clubs are proud of their trail system, and welcome all visitors who ride safely, operate within the law and respect the land, the landowners and the clubs’ efforts. Snowmobile Maine. Ride Right. Enjoy. Please visit our Maine Things To Do Snowmobile Sponsors and please let em know you found ‘em on Mainethingstodo.com !
