East Branch Sno-Rovers & ATV Club 
 
 
 

 

We are a snowmobile club located in Medway (and East Millinocket), Maine, the heart of some of the best snowmobiling in the country. Miles of scenic groomed trails wind their way throughout the beautiful north Maine woods.

The East Branch Sno Rovers clubhouse began in 1972. It is located along the banks of the of the east branch of the Penobscot River between Medway and East Millinocket, Maine.

 
ATV trail 604 south of the clubhouse by the sandpit will be closed from Saturday, Oct. 5 at 5:00 pm until Tuesday morning for police firearms training. Please use Wilderness Drive as an alternate route.

Below is a map of the East Branch Sno-Rovers & ATV Club ATV trails. I’ve drawn in the Wildflower Loop which was added this year and shown where the new trail goes off towards  Millinocket.
The trail does not go any further north than the Northern end of the Wildflower Loop. In the past we had gone an additional five miles but this has been closed at the request of the state because it does not go to any destination.
Please note the you CAN NOT ATV up to Whetstone Falls. All of snowmobile ITS 83 trail is not an ATV trail. There are landowners in this area who absolutely do not allow ATVs. We have heard some people say that with the new bridge from Millinocket open you can ride to Whetstone and on to Sherman and Shin Pond. This is not true.
You can get to both Sherman and Shin Pond along with other points north by taking our trail system east to Mattawamkeag. There it splits and heads north to these areas as well as south and east to Lincoln, Lee and beyond.
Currently there is no new map showing the complete connection to Millinocket but the trail is on Polaris Ride Command.
Ride safe and enjoy yourselves out there!

The trail to Mattawamkeag is now open. The washouts and culverts on Pinkham Road have been fixed.  Please note that there are logging operations in the area and you may meet logging equipment and trucks on Pinkham Road. Remember, THEY ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!

ATV trail 83 north of Stratton Trail (112 Connector) is closed. This was a dead end that only went towards the National Monument which does not allow ATVs. Please respect the landowners and either turn around here or do the new Wildflower loop. Previously this trail ended at Soldier Brook...

ATV Trails Are Now Open!!!  More Good News Is Rt 157 Is Now An Access Route
 
A couple pieces of information-
1. There are new Access Route signs on RT. 157 between RT. 11/Grindstone Road and Lennies Superette. Through this area you should operate your machine in the travel lane and not on the shoulder/break down lane. This is new this year. The roadway speed limit in this section is 35 mph. You should follow the posted speed limit.
2. With the road construction taking place on the RT. 157 bridge over I95 be sure to follow the traffic signals and wait for the green. You are required to follow the same rules as vehicles.
3. When traveling on 83 south of the clubhouse in Medway, we have changed the way the trail goes around the sand pit. In the past the trail went to the right and around behind the sand pit the same as the snowmobile trail. We now have the ATV trail going to the left of the pit. Coming north you stay straight as opposed to turning left. The new route is marked and “No ATV” signs are posted on the old.
4. On 83 north of the clubhouse off of the Madden Road there is a new loop you can take. It’s called the Wildflower loop and just adds some extra miles you can now ride legally. Please stay on the marked trail and do not take side roads off of it. When the new trail to Millinocket opens later this summer it will be off this trail.
There are places on the trail that still need some work and this will be ongoing.
Not all clubs are opening their trails on the 15th so please check with other clubs where you plan to ride.
Enjoy the trails! Ride safe and respect our landowners who let us ride on their land. Please carry in and carry out, do not litter on the trails.
