We went to jackman last year had a great time.You can also go to canada from there and ride there trails also forever never made it that far was enought in the area for us .Averaged about 100 miles a day worth the trip.Nothing hard mostly dirt roads tons of places to stay and ride from.

 

Sounds pretty nice,, are there any trails with some water and mud hills stuff like that,,cause i just heard from someone else that Jackman trails are kinda boaring,not much of a challenge,,i'll have to look at it in person,,

 

If you are looking for challenging trails Jackman is not the place to go. They are wide open (mostly) and easy going. Great for families who like to check out the scenery. There are a couple of sections with water and mud but nothing major. Having said that I have never been there in the spring when I'm sure things are much more challenging from the winter thaw.

 

We were there in july it was very dry no hills mostly loging trails .Heading south to the forks we went on a very long narrow trail threw the wood"s up over a mountain had some spring water flowing down the trail.Nothing a raptor could not handle.The only real water was a trail was blocked by a beaver dam making it about 3 foot deep and we had to go around .Mostly flat wide trails with the ocasional mud pudle.Still hade a blast !!!
I have alot of pictures but have no idea how to post them if someone can talk me threw it I will post them.

 

Ok figured it out The last post is from the top of a mountain trail we are about 40 miles from the cabin we rented.
A moose off the side of a trail got lucky and saw one the first ride out.
Plenty of bridges on all the trails
Getting gas downtown jackman
Here is the average trail there.

 

Ok here is the mud .Out of a week of ridding this was the only mud we hit and managed to get stuck. Raptor + mud = trouble !!!
Towards the end we did find a few more trails under the power lines.

 

Hey very nice post tomscarpt! trails do look like fun, and you can gas up on the roads to,nice. Keep the pics coming if you can,love seeing what Maine really looks like,thanks.

 

Here are a bunch of pics of the 5 day adventure we took in that area last fall. The journey started in Bingham and headed North to Jackman then East to Rockwood..down to Greenville and then back to Bingham.
