Riding off the trail system or using the trails for purposes other than snowmobiling requires asking for the landowners' permission. Ask first, rather than being asked to leave. Many large landowners who allow snowmobile trail access in Maine are involved with the logging and pulp and paper industries. Their heavy equipment and logging trucks often are working in the same areas where snowmobilers travel. Don't snowmobile on plowed roads, and monitor trail condition reports for trail closures and reroutes due to logging operations.
Additional landowners are small woodlot owners and farmers.
Their land is their livelihood. Please stay on the marked trail or you may damage their ability to earn a living, and end access to their valuable property. Everyone who enjoys snowmobiling is depending on you to act responsibly on the trails.
