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.
