New ATV/Snowmobile Trails Coming To Maine
Nothing like getting outside -- anywhere in Maine and at any time of the year.
Here is another place to get outside and get some fresh air into your lungs.
The abandoned Maine Central Railroad Company corridor is being converted to a new multi-use trail.

Governor Mills said
“Snowmobiles and ATVs are as much a part of the Maine outdoor experience as hiking boots, snowshoes, and skis.”
The former railroad corridor trail, known as the Madison Branch, will run 32 miles across Kennebec and Somerset Counties and will be connected to the Maine Interconnected Trail System, or ITS, and Maine ATV Trail System, MATS.
The trail passes over the Kennebec River and the Carrabassett River. Imagine the gorgeous views. And the trestles will provide not only a spectacular look at Maine but a safe way to cross the rivers.
When the construction is complete, the trail will connect thousands of miles of local ATV and snowmobile trails. Plus be usable for non-motorized recreation, including hikers, bikers and skiers.
The Norridgewock town manager added:
“The acquisition of the Madison branch railbed is a major step forward for our region’s economy”
The Madison Branch rail trail will run through the Central Maine towns of Oakland, Fairfield, Norridgewock, Madison, Anson, North Anson, and Embden.
Completion will take up to two years. Start planning those all day and more long trips soon, and be thinking about how much of Maine you’ll see.
