As far as legal trails go there are a couple in Western Mass. and I'm not sure about RI. Most of us from MA, RI, or CT, ride in NH or ME where we are welcomed. In MA you have to get a day permit to ride the trails in W. MA.

The western mountains of Maine are very family friendly in that they are easy going and well marked (for the most part).

used to be open to atv's, then all the dirtbikes started complaining and they went single track only.
I've ridden my atv up there a few times many years ago- not a great place to ride anyway- trails are too tight, not very long, maybe 15 miles worth.
a couple of guys saw me unloading my atv and gave me a hard time- bitching about the trails being single track only. I just started up the atv and drove off into the trails. I saw other sport quads out there also. Some trails lead to houses that obviously have atv's

some web sites still list it at being single / double track, but there are signs in the lot that state single travk only / NO ATV's

as mentioned above- riding in mass is a waste of time. just go reg in NH & Maine and spend your money up there- at least they welcome the revenue unlike this shithole state.
LMFT, Jericho, pisgah and maine is just loaded with atv trails- thousands of miles worth just in the jackman / forks area alone!and most trails have food, gas lodging access- or utility roads where you can ride your atv right into town and stock up.

yeah i went into franklin state forest anyways, its not great but its fun and i dont even have to transport to go there, only saw 2 dirt bikes and talked with them and they didnt seem bothered by atvs in there. definitely going to go up to nh hopefully within the next 2 months, i saw that jericho mountain and it looks great, do you know if that shop up there sells the registrations? also not trying to be a pain but do you know if the rentals they say they have are decent? I trust my atv, but my wifes blaster hates me just enough to die 30 miles away from the truck
