Good News!
Please welcome
our newest Major Business Sponsor, Camp Do What You
Wanna on Main Street (right next to the Rangeley
Inn). At their Grand Opening and Open House on December 30th,
they presented the RLSC with a check for $1,000 for the
Trail Fund and a $2,000 check to sponsor the fireworks
during Snodeo. Owners Alex Allen and Jeremy Kelly offer
Ski-Doo rentals during the snowmobile season. Their store
on Main Street also offers exceptional bakery items and
light meals. They are Trail Accessible
Be aware that
there will be no public parking in the Rangeley Town Park this winter (2012). The parking area has been relocated on the
trail next to Rangeley Inn. There are signs on Route 4.
Absolutely no riding on plowed roads in the Rangeley area!
We had one serious accident last season – a sled rounded on
a corner and hit a truck on a plowed road. The rider
had parked his truck and unloaded next to a sign that read
“no snowmobiling”. This land is owned by
paper companies and land management companies. Most
of our trail system is on their property and they will shut
us down completely if this doesn’t stop. Logging trucks
and other vehicles have every right to be on these roads any
time. You are not only jeopardizing your life by
riding on these roads, you are jeopardizing the entire
Rangeley trail system. Wardens have been asked to
patrol these areas heavily.
We understand that some people have been removing the “no
snowmobiling” signs so they can claim they didn’t know they
weren’t supposed to ride there.
Maine state law
states “no snowmobiling on plowed roads” – it is illegal
whether there is a sign posted or not.

Snowmobiling is a popular winter activity in Maine. It
contributes to the economy of the state as residents and
non-residents take to the trails that span the state.
Studies show that the sport of snowmobiling continues to
grow each and every year. Also, snowmobiling accounts for
many full-time jobs in the state.
