Snowmobile Maine
Aroostook County
Northern Maine snowmobiling is among the best destinations for extensive mileage in the northeast. There are 2,300 miles of snowmobile trails with diverse terrain, such as wooded trails, hilltops, frozen lakes, and vast miles of groomed potato fields.
REGION HIGHLIGHTS
Aroostook Valley Trail
Trail System: From Presque Isle heading northwest, take ITS83 – ITS88 – ITS83 – ITS90 – ITS83 to New Sweden.
The Aroostook Valley Trail is a 28.8-mile groomed trail connecting Presque Isle and New Sweden, passing through the towns of Caribou, Washburn, and Woodland. It is a picturesque trail with vast open farm fields, deep woods, and several bodies of water, like streams and the Aroostook River.
The Border Trail
Trail System: ITS 81 connecting Limestone and Van Buren
This unique trail takes you along the US and Canadian border. There are 3-foot granite markers that separate the two countries: heading north on ITS 81, you will find yourself, most of the time, on the Canadian side. Heading south, you are in the United States. The Border Trail is the only trail you can ride from the United States to Canada without registration. The highlight of this trip is the deactivated Loring Air Force Base in Limestone. You can ride along and walk the property to see the control tower built in 1947.
Loring Air Force Base and the Arch Hanger in Limestone
Trail System: 100B off ITS 81
Loring AFB is one of the largest Strategic Air Command bomber bases of the Cold War. The base was deactivated in 1994. This abandoned property has several historical buildings, including the arch hanger. The hanger was considered the US's largest and most significant arch structure during the cold war. Ride down the 3-mile airplane runway and observe the massive structure and its counterparts.
St. John Valley
Trail System:
ITS 92 – ITS 85 – ITS 81 – ITS 83
This region is considered the Crown of Maine and stretches from Allagash to Madawaska. There are several opportunities to stop at scenic overlooks to enjoy the beauty of the state's northern tip. Highlights include the First Mile marker in Fort Kent or the Long Lake Overlook in St. Agatha.
Deboullie Public Lands & Deboullie Mt. Lookout
Trail System:
ITS 120-connector trail via ITS 85 from the east and ITS 92 from the NW
Deboullie is located east of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway and only 30 miles from the Canadian border. This remote area of Maine has approximately 22,000 acres of land, forest, and ponds. The 2,000-foot Deboullie Mountain Lookout is a destination favorite for experienced snowmobilers. Note: These are shared-use roads. Ride with caution. Lake and pond riding is not recommended in this area because of potential hazards.
For additional information and updated maps, contact the Bureau’s Off-road Recreational Vehicle Office at (207) 287-4957. Within Maine Only: 1-800-462-1019.
ITS 88
This Interconnected Trail follows the banks of the pristine Aroostook River. The 50-mile route stretches between Fort Fairfield and Ashland. On a clear day, you can see Maine’s tallest mountain in the distance, Mt. Katahdin.
MAPS
Most snowmobile clubs produce maps for their specific region. The Aroostook Area Chamber of Commerce has a great map of the entire northern Maine region. For more information, call 1-888-216-2463 or visit

Fuel/ Gas Stations
Tip: Cellular Coverage: Be aware that some remote areas might have limited or no cellular coverage. Carrying a map and compass is good practice if you need to navigate offline.
Ensuring you have enough fuel for your snowmobiling adventure in Aroostook County is crucial, as the county's vast trails can take you through remote areas where fuel stations might be limited. Remember that snowmobiling in remote areas requires proper preparation. Pack extra essentials like water, snacks, and a basic toolkit. It's recommended to travel with a group, inform someone about your planned route, and be cautious of changing weather conditions. Here's what you need to know about finding gas and fuel for snowmobiling in Aroostook County, Maine:
Plan Ahead: Before heading out on the trails, plan your route and identify fuel stations. Aroostook County's trail maps often indicate gas station locations, so note these points before you start your journey.
Trailside Gas Stations: Some popular snowmobiling routes and trails in Aroostook County have gas stations conveniently located along the way. These stations are aware of the snowmobiling traffic and are more likely to remain open during winter.
Gas Canister: Carrying a spare gas canister or two can provide you with extra fuel reserves. This is particularly important if you plan to venture into more remote areas where gas stations might be scarce.
Snowmobile Clubs and Lodges: Some snowmobile clubs or lodges might have fuel for snowmobilers. Check with local clubs or your accommodations to see if they offer fuel services.
Local Knowledge: Talk to locals, including other snowmobilers, for advice on fuel availability and the best places to refuel. They might have insights into less-known gas stations accessible from the trails.
Carry Extra: Snowmobile engines might consume more fuel in cold conditions, so it's better to overestimate your fuel needs. It's safer to have more fuel than to risk running out in the middle of your journey.
Trail Maps and Information Centers: Consult local trail maps and visitor information centers for the most up-to-date information on gas stations along the trails. They can provide valuable insights and recommendations.
Here are some trail-accessible gas stations:

Park-n-Rides
A park-n-ride for snowmobilers is a designated area where individuals who own or operate snowmobiles can park their vehicles and trailers before heading out to explore snowmobile trails. Like park-n-rides for cars, commonly used by commuters who carpool or use public transportation, park-n-rides for snowmobilers provide a convenient and safe place to park their vehicles while engaging in recreational snowmobiling activities.
Parking Facilities: A park-n-ride for snowmobilers usually offers ample parking space for trucks, trailers, and vehicles transporting snowmobiles. The parking area is designed to accommodate the needs of snowmobilers trailering their machines to the starting point of a snowmobile trail.
Access to Trails: These facilities are strategically located near popular snowmobiling trailheads. Snowmobilers can park their vehicles and quickly access nearby snowmobile trails without traveling long distances from their homes to the trailhead.
Safety and Security: Park-n-rides for snowmobilers are often designed with safety in mind. They might have designated parking spaces, proper lighting, and possibly security features to help deter theft or vandalism.
Trail Information: Some park-n-rides might provide information boards, maps, or signage detailing nearby snowmobiling trails, trail conditions, and safety guidelines. This helps snowmobilers plan their routes and enjoy a safe and enjoyable ride.
Community Convenience: These facilities can benefit both residents and visitors. Locals can easily access snowmobile trails without causing congestion in residential areas, while visitors can find a centralized location to park and start their snowmobiling adventures.
Facility Regulations: Depending on the location and management, there might be regulations or guidelines for using the park-n-ride, such as parking fees, parking duration limits, and rules for keeping the area clean.
