Trail Notices

November 6, 2025

Important Trail Notice for the DEST: Starting November 10th, a section of the DEST in between Machias and East Machias will be rerouted to Scott's Hill Rd to bypass construction and drilling for bridge foundations. The trail will be closed from Dunkin in Machias to the Rim Rd in East Machias. All construction will be done during Monday-Friday, so the trail can remain open on the weekends. It will be signed on both ends with arrows marking the bypass route. There will be no public access allowed while work is being done. Construction is expected to take place for approximately 2-3 weeks. Please obey all posted closures and ride safely.

Important Trail Notice regarding the Downeast Sunrise Trail: Beginning November 1st in Ayers Junction, the Downeast Sunrise Trail will be closed in sections for needed maintenance. Phase one will consist of power grading the sides of the trail to pull fine materials back onto the surface this fall. The reclaimed material will also pull in vegetation that will have to be Harley raked and left over the winter to decompose creating difficult travelling conditions for non-motorized recreational users until the trail is graded and compacted again in the spring (Phase Two). Once each section has been reclaimed, the trail will be reopened for use. Sections undergoing maintenance will be marked with large, red signs. Please obey all posted closures and be safe.

Important trail notice for the southern Maine area: ALL trails in the Gray/ New Gloucester area are closed and will remain closed until further notice. There is currently no ATV club in that area, thus riding is prohibited on all trails and access routes. Please obey all posted closures.
