The Maine ATV map leaves alot to be desired. Much better than nothing, but still could be better. I'm going to have to start contacting the local clubs to get some local maps.

That's the key to the Maine trails. Get the local maps. I've ridden with a buddy of mine on the Southern Maine trails. Without the maps it can get pretty confusing.

The trails are closed to ATV use during the winter because they become snowmobile trails. Most, if not all forbid using an ATV on them during this time.

I went riding at mount blue state park last weekend and it was SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! lotsa trails that go everywhere.. You want some good maps and such goto delorme in yarmouth maine my best friend greg runs the store there and is really good with the GPS systems they sell. Everytime we go out he makes sure to download all the topographical maps and such.. Its almost impossible to get lost the local trail maps are always total crap!

The Delorme PN60 GPS is a really nice UNIT it does everything that an outdoor enthusiast needs.. and then some.

Canyon, and out towards Roxbury?

As long as your not raising holy hell or making your own trails their isn't any trouble.
