5/30/2025 Aroostook County ATV trails Update:

⭐Caribou ATV Trails
Trails opened on May 23rd. Please stay on marked trails. Reminder the trail from York Street to Brew Pub is going to be closed for a few more weeks as this section is extremely wet. Also riding North of Stockholm is still closed until after Irving sprays for budworms.

⭐Van Buren ATV Club " The Pine Runners "
The trail to the picnic site is open as well as the haunted forest trail. The Alexander road trail (mats 218) to Grand Isle will remain closed until the clubs north of us open. The reservoir loop is also closed until work is completed to make it safe. And remember, please yield to farm equipment… this is their land. Please have some respect… safe riding!

⭐Patten ATV Club
Trails will open 5/30/25 against my better judgment, the reason I say that is because some trails will remain closed and I know some people won't follow the rules. The trails that are closed are posted and here they are part of 610 from Crystal Brook to Clark Road, 609F Clark Rd. threw the big Cunnigham field to Quints field,609H by sled club Clark Rd. to where you hit 610B might be more as I look but basically field trails you can get to where your going just have to use the right trail.

⭐Valley ATV Riders
5/30/25 - Trail Update – Trails Remain Closed 🚫Heads up, riders: Budworm spraying operations are not complete as the worms are not yet actively feeding.🐛 Until spraying is done, we must delay trail openings to stay in compliance with landowner agreements.
In addition, still many trail sections remain soft, especially those where sunlight hasn’t dried the ground. With more rain expected, conditions would deteriorate quickly. ☔️ We are reassessing daily and will keep you in the loop.

⭐️Portage ATV Club
The ATV trails will be open tomorrow, Saturday, May 31. Please respect our generous landowners by staying on marked trails only. 🌧️ Trail Conditions: Trails remain soft in many areas, especially low spots and shaded sections. Please use 4-wheel drive in wet areas to help prevent ruts and long-term damage. 🚗 Day Parking is available on Station Road: 🚻 A portable restroom is set up in the day parking lot for your convenience.

Let's hit the trails, watch for closed trails, saturated soils, and be prepared to stop for blowdowns and wildlife!

Our Story

What do you think of when you hear the word "Maine?" Does your mind conjure up images of ruby red lobster dinners, rocky coasts with tall lighthouses, windowsills crammed with piping hot blueberry pies and charming coastal communities with pahking lots full of cahs? Now, forget just about everything you thought you knew and cross the line into Maine's northernmost county, a land that couldn't be further away from the bustle of downstate. Truth be told, Aroostook County has everything wonderful that you'd expect from the State of Maine. From friendly local folks to sumptuous restaurants, shopping destinations and breathtaking outdoor amenities, it is a peaceful borderland where time passes slower, refreshing evening breezes linger longer and sunsets sizzle for endless stretches. Step back into the way Maine used to be and take a deep breath of fresh pine and balsam-heavy air: Aroostook County is a place for rejuvenating and reconnecting with life's simple pleasures.
