Rules of the Trail
1. STAY ON MARKED, GROOMED TRAILS OR PLEASE STAY HOME New laws have made it illegal to ride anywhere without landowner permission. We are fighting hard to keep our landowners happy by respecting their land. We can’t keep our trails if
you do not respect landowner rules. It’s their land, they can close the trail anytime they wish.
2. BUY A LOCAL CLUB MAP - The Black Fly Loop is intended to show major trails. Current
information, side trails and local “must sees” will be found on club maps. These are also
fundraisers for the clubs. The money goes to support the trails.
3. JOIN A CLUB - When you do, join the Maine Snowmobile
Association (MSA) as well. Most clubs include MSA membership in club dues. It’s a great
fundraiser and give extra insurance while riding in our state. RIDE OUR TRAILS. JOIN OUR
CLUBS.
4. DO NOT LITTER - Pack in, pack out.
5. LEARN AND USE THE HAND SIGNALS SHOWN ON THIS MAP
6. ALWAYS RIDE ON THE RIGHT - Do this for safety’s sake — you don’t drive your car in the
middle of the road. Middle riding, besides being unsafe, staves up the trail quicker, producing
those bumps you hate.
7. DON’T DRINK AND RIDE
8. DO NOT RIDE ANY KIND OF ATV ON THESE TRAILS - Check ATV club adv. below for
information and maps. ATV trails are open from Memorial Day thru Oct. 31.

The Black Fly Loop
2
Like the hub of a great wheel, the Black Fly Loop circles the
heart of Franklin County, connecting the spokes that comprise
the more than 300 miles of well groomed mountain trails. These
trails reach north through Eustis, Jackman and The Forks, west
to Rangeley, Oquossoc and New Hampshire, east to Carrabasset
Valley, Kingfield, and North New Portland, and south to Farmington, Wilton and Weld.
The Black Fly Loop has the widest variety of trails available in the east. These uncrowded trails wander through stands
of pine, and climb majestic mountains. SnoGoer Magazine
and Snowmobile Magazine considers the region to be one of
the top 40 snowmobiling HOT SPOTS in the United States and
Canada (see October 1997 issues). Spectacular lookouts abound
from mountaintops to glacier valleys, and from lakes to ponds.
Picturesque New England towns and villages provide service
and amenities for all tastes. You could catch a moose or deer
drinking in one of the small streams, so bring your cameras and
discover the magic places the Black Fly Loop has to offer.
