Winter: When snow falls in northern Maine people in Aroostook County don’t let it slow them down, they get out their “sleds” (snowmobiles) and ride. The Maine ITS, or Interconnected Trail System consists of over 10,000 groomed trails winding through the forests, over peaks and across lakes throughout the state. These trails provide a great way to get out and enjoy the beauty of Maine’s long winter season. With a trail sytem this big it is easy to find uncrowded and pristine places to explore. Snowmobiles are also a great vehicle to access ice fishing spots, skiing and snowboarding hills as well as scenic areas unreachable by road in winter. If you don’t own a snowmobile, no problem there are many places that will rent them for a reasonable price. Most Outfitters also offer guided trips if you are hesitant to strike out on your own. Get out and enjoy the winter highway.
