Boat Launches
We all love clean water. It only takes one boater to do immeasurable
damage to our vulnerable ponds and lakes. Invasive water plants, such
as milfoil, are spread by boats, which pick them up at one infested lake
and carry them to another. Boat wash stations are available at some boat
launch sites in the Greater Bridgton Lakes Region Area. And Courtesy
Inspectors are often on hand to help inspect boats for plants. All launch
sites include signs explaining the need for such inspections. After you’ve
checked that your gas tank is full, your lunch is packed and your gear is
stored, please check and remove any vegetation from your boat.

Snowmobile Enthusiasts
Opportunities abound for you to view miles of the Lakes Region’s
countryside, see wildlife in natural habitats and socialize with friends
when you explore our area via snowmobile. More than 600 miles of
trails, including key corridors ITS80 and ITS89 are well-groomed and
marked for your day, weekend or entire weeklong trip. Many area
businesses cater to snowmobiles; restaurants and motels even have
trails to their doorsteps. Once there, warm up, savor a hot meal, then
head back out for some night riding.
Be fair to other riders and property owners by obeying the signs and
staying on the trails. Private landowners give permission to ride on their
property. Remember to ride right and respect the land.
In Bridgton, the Easy Rider Snowmobile Club hosts free snowmobile
rides during the Mushers Bowl/Winter Carnival in January and a Poker
Run in February. Naples hosts a Winter Carnival in February. Check
out the following websites for more information: http://geocities.com/
