Welcome to our New Web Site!
We had excellant trail conditions this year, in part because of our trailmaster "June" Hebert and his "elves". They worked hard to maintain our trails so we can say that we have "THE BEST RIDING TRAILS" in the State of Maine! With the purchased a small portable backhoe to work on drainage problems in our trails, some trail maintantence issues were resolved. Thank you June and crew.
With this site, we hope to reach all of our members and non-members to assist, educate, help, shop on line, and interact with each other with information about our trails, maps, newsletters and club events for the coming year. Again, we thank those special landowners that allow us to use their land for our trails because without them, we have no trails. I believe our ENJOY DON’T DESTROY motto reflects what every responsible rider believes in. We need to live up to our agreement with the landowners that we will be caretakers of these trails
Happy New Year!

WIDENING GATES FOR RANGER TYPE ATVs
Trail Master, "June" Hebert has informed us that by this week-end, July 16, 2011, all trails with gates not wide
enough to allow Ranger type ATVs access to our trails will be widened to such a size that these vehicles will be able to pass thru all of our gates. Happy Trails!!
MADAWASKA DOWNTOWN ROAD ACCESS
Check out the video section of this site for an update on the agreement between the Madawaska Board of Selectmen and the Madawaska ATV & Snowmoble Clubs of the town. The only comment that this site will make is to remind all riders involved to please observe and follow the rules set up for us. This is a priviledge given to us by our local officials. Thanks to our Madawaska WOWL Community Television Station for producing this video and by also broadcasting this on the WOWL Channel (while the station will last). Thank you Derrick and group at the WOWL station.
IRVING TRAILS ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
Well, well, winter's around the corner! Just to let everyone know that our club's (and many more) agreement with Irving Lands is that the trails will be closed to ATVs starting November 1, 2011 until openning season of 2012. Please respect Irving Lands wishes on this matter. Most signs on the rest of our trails have been taken down. If you are riding this fall (and only until the first snowfall in the trails) please take care of how you handle your machine on muddy trails. We have invested a lot of $$$$ on our trails. Please don't tear them up!!
Thank you everyone for a safe and accident-free year of riding. See you all on the trails in 2012.
This web-site will continue to be updated and maintained during the winter months with updated news and articles of interest.
