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.
