Take a Ride in the Eastern Region!!

(Continued from Cover) tem. You can use local club trails to access other areas of Downeast Maine. Why not start on Route 9 in Beddington? Go northeast to Grand Lake Stream, Princeton and Calais. You can also get to Sunrise Trail from here by going south to Cherryfield. One other area of the Eastern Region that is a nice, but shorter ride is Acadia National Park. If the snow conditions are right, you can ride the Park Loop Rd and ride your snowmobile to the top of Cadillac Mtn. This trip depends greatly on the weather as many times it will snow during the day or night and the wind will blow it all away the next day. As you can see, the Eastern Region has many, many differ- ent day rides and areas you can explore. If you are really, really adventurous and want to make

a vacation week out of it, start in Newport, go north to Greenville or Millinocket, head east from Millinocket to Medway, over to Mattawamkeag or Springfield, down to Lincoln or Grand Lake Stream, then Downeast and west to Holden. You would need some- one to bring your trailer to Holden as there is no way to cross the Penobscot River, or you could just go back up to Lincoln, cross the river and back down to Newport. Of course, all of these trips depend on snow conditions which do vary a great deal in the Eastern Region, but what better way to see a large portion of this state than by snowmobile! With 74 clubs in the region you can find many, many club trails off ANY of the ITS or Connector trails that will take you to places in Maine you may never have seen before!
