Maine's Aroostook County - Official Travel Guide A Northern Experience | Page 59

Ghost Trains
Located in the North Maine Woods off ITS 85, the abandoned locomotive cars once used for hauling lumber in the great Northern woods make for a fascinating destination for snowmobilers. In winter, this trail is only accessible via snowmobile and is a solid day trip. Begin your journey in Ashland and be sure to bring extra gas and food as there are no trailside services on this route.
International View
Frenchville, 81 B off ITS 85. Nestled in the St. John River Valley, the International View is a scenic lookout that faces over a huge vista of the river valley, open fields and forests- all the way into New Brunswick, Canadia.
Loring Airforce Base
Limestone, 100B off ITS 81. Loring AFB is one of the largest SAC bomber bases of the Cold War. The mostly abandoned Loring AFB and hangars are a history buff’ s dream, and what better way to explore the facility than by snowmobile?
Number 9 Mountain Tower
Bridgewater, 70A between ITS 81 and ITS 83. The County is primarily a rolling flat land with various high points. This is one of the few peaks in Aroostook County that is accessible by snowmobile- the views spill over a patchwork of forests and fields.
Infinity View
Littleton, ITS 86. Whether you’ re a seasoned rider or new to the sport, the Infinity View Trail is a great way to thrash through the massive expanse. The view has not been formally measured but is estimated you can see a straight line of ITS for about 1.5 miles.
Border Trail
Caswell, ITS 81. This well-marked and scenic trail takes riders directly along the US and Canadian border. Three foot tall granite markers dot the path. A passport and Canadian snowmobile permit is required to cross.
