Maine is a true outdoor paradise, and anyone who lives here knows that no matter the season or region, the state offers endless opportunities for adventure year-round. It's no surprise, then, that one of Maine's most popular outdoor activities has just earned national recognition.

Maine's Iconic Snowmobiling Trail System

Fod Sports, a well-known outdoor enthusiast blog, recently highlighted the best snowmobiling trail systems in the United States, and Maine made the list. But it wasn’t just a single trail that stood out—it was the entire state. This is a remarkable achievement.

Maine earned this recognition thanks to its expansive Interconnected Trail System (ITS), a vast network of thousands of miles of trails that span from Southern Maine all the way to the remote corners of Aroostook County. The ITS offers unparalleled access to some of the best snowmobiling in the country.

The best word to describe Maine's trail system is "epic." The seamless connection of trails across the entire state showcases Maine's commitment to its outdoor enthusiasts. This extensive network allows snowmobilers to experience the diverse beauty of Maine’s regions, from the Western Foothills and Katahdin Region to the scenic Downeast area, offering a truly unique adventure.

The Benefits of Snowmobiling in Maine

Here is a little more of why Fod Sports selected Maine as one of the best places in America to snowmobile.

Their Interconnected Path System (ITS) flaunts 3,500 miles of snow sled trails that can take you around the state...A number of these tracks connect with the added 10,000 miles of snow sled trails in Maine, too. And if that's inadequate to convince you that Maine is a leading snowmobiler location, the beautiful surface, regular wild animal sightings, and friendly towns along the trail system will certainly ensure you have a great flight.

This endorsement from a popular outdoor site is a testament to just how incredible Maine is. It’s yet another example of outsiders recognizing the true beauty and appeal of our state.
