This year we have all new trails. We had to re-route 30 miles or about 95% of them due to cutting operations in the area. Thankfully, the landowners have provided us with the use of alternative trails, we can't thank them enough for allowing us the use of their lands, it's truly a privilege. You'll love the trails coming up from the south. Outstanding views of Lobster Lake, Spencer Mountain, Mt Katahdin and many more. So here it is:
From the SOUTH, Greenville, Kokadjo, Rockwood, Millinocket, and Jackman. Take the Spencer Mountain Trail that is perfectly groomed by the Ragged Riders SC. West of the "NFG" trail a mile or so, head NORTH on the Maxfield Brook Trail and follow the signs and trail from there. It's a 28 mile ride to Chesuncook Village. The trains are 21 miles from Chesuncook and the trail is marked.
From the NORTH, Take the Shin Pond: To ITS 85 south to trail 71D on your right. Continue straight to
where 71D takes a hard right to go down to Grand Lake Seboeis to the new Libby Pinnacle Loop, goes straight at this intersection.
From Houlton: Take ITS 86 North to ITS 81/85 south to trail 71D south on your right.
Follow that past Grand Lake Seboeis. In about ¼ mile take a left at
the intersection on to Libby Pinnacle loop.
Then from Libby's Camps follow the signs to Chamberlain Lake. Once on Chamberlain Lake you'll head west to MUD BROOK COVE at the Mud Brook campsite. Follow the signs from there. DO NOT TAKE PLOWED ROADS or ALTERNATIVE ROUTES. YOU WILL BE TICKETED!!!!! There are only 19 LEGAL access points in the AWW, please use them.
We have approx. 12" of clear ice out front. There is a good 24" base, over 3' in the woods. Riding on and off trail has been excellent.
There is no better snowmobile map than a DELORME's GAZZETTER. Bring one along, you won't ever regret it. A compass wouldn't hurt either. GPS's eat batteries in the cold!
