IT'S OFFICIAL - Our ATV Trails will reopen Saturday, May 23rd!

⚠️ TAKE NOTICE: ⚠️
Our Trail System is primarily located on Irving-owned land. Irving requires ALL ATV's to be a member of our club, or another club who maintains trails on Irving-owned land in order to ride on their land.

These are active working forests! ALWAYS YEILD TO ALL TRUCKS AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC. Please be respectful of Landowners; carry in & carry out (no littering) and stay on the marked trails.

You can join our club in person at Shin Pond Village (reopening May 18th) or online at https://www.shinpondtrailriders.com/

Thank you to all Landowners!!

Reminder that while ATV Trails in the State of Maine do not close until the 'first lasting snowfall', Irving (a land owner, who owns a major part of the land that our trail system goes through) shuts down their trails TODAY, October 26th. Please respect this and do not ride our trails. Without our gracious land owners, we would not have our trails 💚

Thank you!

Other area clubs to our east & southeast such as Island falls, Patten and Sherman who have a significant amount of trail on farm land in particular have delayed their openings until next Friday 5/30/25.

We encourage that if you ride this coming weekend please know where you should ride and please come prepared to lend us a hand with tree clearing, limb snipping, and even signage as it would be greatly appreciated!

Our trails are set to open for the 2024 season Friday May 24th!

It has certainly seemed like an early spring in many ways but believe it or not spring like conditions have still been out there this last week or so. Our priority is doing right by landowners who are gracious enough to share their lands with us!
