• Abstract:
  Maine has 13,200 miles of picturesque snowmobile trails that cover the entire state from Aroostook 
  
  County in the north to York County in the south. Tourists have been traveling to the state to enjoy the 
  
  well groomed trails and warm greetings for many years. During the winter season, the number of  snowmobile registrations range between 122,000 and 77,000 dependent on the amount of snowfall and 
  
  length of season. The Interconnected Trail System (ITS) and connecting trails represent roughly 3,000 
  
  miles of the states trail system. An additional 10,000+ miles of trails crisscross the ITS connecting the 
  
  more than 285 snowmobile clubs around the state. The ITS was created by utilizing discontinued rail road 
  
  beds and timber logging roads and a number of trails follow existing power lines. In addition, many trails  are cut through the woods by the more than 30,000 Maine Snowmobile Association members and 
  
  individual club members who also maintain the entire trail system to ensure that all who use the trails  have a safe and enjoyable ride.
