Off Roading – find adventure in new terrain

If you are familiar with the snowmobile trails in the winter months, but ride an ATV in summer, then you know how beautiful this part of America is. During the summer, the 2,300-miles of snowmobile trails become 1,300-miles of ATV trails. Summer takes on a new perspective. The frozen streams you cross are now babbling brooks and snow-covered rolling hills turn a vibrating green as the sun embraces the forest and fields. The huge views and vistas that take your breath away during the winter, are a multitude of colors and spectacular in a totally different way.

You’ll be delighted to experience broad expanses of terrain and sights only seen by ATV, Aroostook County is where cherished memories with family and friends are made.
