ATV & Four Wheeling

Some of the best ATV trails in Maine are in the Jackman-Moose River Region. Our area offers over 300+ miles that will take you through unspoiled wilderness and up to scenic views. From Jackman, you can ride south to the Forks, east toward Rockwood, and as of July 21, 2007, you can go north across the Canadian border into Quebec, offering you even more places to explore. ATV Season in the Jackman region opens in May; the exact date depends on when the snow melts and the ground dries out, and generally, trails will stay open through mid-November. Our trails are clearly marked to provide hours of safe and fun riding.

If you are new to the area and prefer a guided tour, some businesses offer this. Check with your lodging host or the Chamber of Commerce for more information.

ATV rental is available in Jackman. Please visit the directory for more information.

You can access ATV trails from many of the accommodations listed in the directory and from most restaurants, stores, and gas stations in town. If you choose to only ride for the day, you can park your trailer at the Border Riders Clubhouse.



INFORMATION

  • Trail maps are available at the Chamber of Commerce Booth, at many local businesses in town, and online at Border Riders Club.

  • Contact the Border Riders Club for specific dates and information about the trails.

  • To ride your ATV in Maine, you must be registered in Maine. If you need to register, you can do this on line at Maine.gov or when you get into town, you can do this here.

  • For official information and rules for Maine ATV, visit the Maine.gov website.

  • To cross the border into Canada, you will need your ATV registration, Passport and insurance. For up to date requirements, go to US Customs & Border Protection or USA.gov.

  • Maine Law requires that you ride on marked designated trails only, unless you have written permission form the landowner. The landowners in this area have been very generous to us for public use. Please show respect to these private landowners who allow free access on their land by treating the land as if it were your own. Stay on the trails, use the bridges we built for you, and respect "NO ATV" signs.

Make sure to always pack for survival when going out on the trails. A few essential items to take along: water, first aid kit, basic spare parts and tool kit, compass, camera, binoculars, rain gear or extra clothing, sunscreen, bug repellant, extra gas can if you are planning a long ride, and of course, a trail map.
