Explore Maine’s Premier Off-Road Trail System
The Moosehead Lake region serves as a massive hub for backcountry exploration, boasting miles of interconnected trails.
-
Backcountry Connectivity: Navigate a seamless network of trails that allow you to ride from Greenville to The Forks, Rockwood, and even the remote wilderness of Kokadjo.
-
Scenic Landmarks: Discover local history at the B52 Memorial Site on Elephant Mountain or take in panoramic mountain views from high-altitude trail stops.
-
Town Access: Both Greenville and Rockwood are “ATV-friendly,” meaning you can ride your machine directly into town to access local restaurants and shops.
Key Regulations & Safety Guidelines
To keep the trails open and your ride legal, staying updated on Maine ATV laws is essential.

Public Way Access: Beginning January 1, 2026, certain registered ATVs are permitted to operate on public ways. Speed limits of 50 mph or less along with specific safety equipment requirements (like insurance).

Registration Requirements: All ATVs must be legally registered. For every registration purchased, over 2/3 of the fee goes directly into the state’s trail maintenance fund.
