5-13-20  - With Memorial Weekend coming up, we would like to remind people that we have to keep the ATV trails closed until at least June 12th. Sorry they will not be open for memorial weekend but we have no control over this. Please stay safe and healthy. Thank you.


 06/27/19- The trails have been open for a while- there have been some closures due to logging-

Access routes are now part of the snowmobile trail, and take you down the Spencer Road.  It's advisable to go slow and stay to the right for your safety, and the safety of others, i.e. logging trucks.

This is an interim fix to keep access from the West Forks area to Jackman.

Any questions, please let us know.

​The trails are very well marked.


                                                           Free ATV Weekend

Greetings ATV-ers!  

Now that the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife has announced its annual free ATV weekend,  Coburn MTN ATV Riders wanted to make sure all of you had the information.   

August 16-18, 2019. 

This is the same weekend as the Acadian Festival in Aroostook County.  During this weekend a nonresident may operate in Maine on an ATV that is not registered in Maine if the nonresident's ATV has a valid registration from another state or Canadian province. 


If you have any questions, please contact DIFW at 287-8000.  This info is also available on the IFW website at

TRAIL UPDATE:  05-17-19


EMAIL FROM WEYERHAEUSER TO BRIAN BRONSON, STATE SUPERVISOR FOR OFF ROAD RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PROGRAM:

From:
Pollis, Stephen

To: 'brian.n.bronson@maine.
 Subject: ATV Trails
 
Hi Brian,
 
Memorial Day weekend has crept up on us as it’s only a little over a week away.
 
With the rainy pattern continuing through next Wednesday and the fact that roads/trails are very wet, and in some cases still plugged with snow, we won’t be opening ATV trails for Memorial Day weekend. 
 

I know some trails may be suitable for use but to eliminate confusion, and the fact that you have to go from point A to point B without issues, we are keeping all WY trails closed for now.
 
We will watch conditions closely and evaluate a potential opening on the 31st if things dry out nicely.
 
Please pass the word to the clubs.
 
Thank you,
 
Steve 
 
FROM BRIAN BONSON- TO ATV CLUBS:
 
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE POSITION OF WEYERHAEUSER IS SUPPORTED BY THE STATE SUPERVISOR, BRIAN BRONSON, OFF ROAD RECREATION VEHICLE PROGRAM:
 
It has been a long cold and very wet spring and the result are conditions that cannot allow us to open much of the ATV trail system.   As you can see from the e-mails below all the large landowners are in agreement that we should not open any of these trails because  of the wet conditions.  
 
Please post this message on your Websites and Facebook pages so we can avoid conflict with people coming up for Memorial Day weekend with plans to ride.  Hopefully we will be able to open by the first of June but we will have to watch the conditions.
 
Some trails in southern and eastern Maine will be able to open and we are planning on opening all of the rail trails for Memorial Day weekend so there will be at least some places for people to ride.    
 

Thank you
 
Brian Bronson

Dear Members and Friends:

Welcome Spring 2019,  This is the same old story, and it's repeated again this year.  We need to assess the winter damage, and wash outs and this spring the rains have been heavy and many. 

We ask you to be patient while we review the road and damage areas.

If you feel you can't wait, we ask you to PROCEED WITH CAUTION.  ALERT US TO SERIOUS ROAD DAMAGE AND WASHOUTS.

WE ASK THAT YOU RESPECT THE ROAD AND OUR TRAILS IF THERE IS DAMAGE AND NOT CAUSE ADDITIONAL EROSION DAMAGE.

Shari, Club Secretary/Treasurer
