Trail Conditions Carrabassett Valley Trails Committee

Last change on Saturday, May 23rd.

We’re going to open network wide starting Sat May 23. Please be aware, the nordic and backcountry corridors have soft spots throughout, be mindful of your tread and don’t leave ruts! Additionally we have not completed a full assessment so be cautious out there. A selection of trails will remain closed around the ODC.. if you see a sign, please stay off and find another route. As usual, the Stoney Brook trails will be opening on or around July 1. Please pass the word, and stay tuned here for updates as conditions change.

Lastly, Maintenance continues on the Narrow Gauge Pathway. Please wait for the machinery operators to see you and signal you to pass. Happy Trails!

Network Alerts

The Penobscot Nation has graciously granted trail access on an annual basis in the past and we have contacted them for 2021 permission. Until we receive such permission, and resolve any underlying concerns that may be preventing it, riders do not have permission to access portions of the CVTrails network on Penobscot Nation Lands. Respect for landowners is imbedded in the CRNEMBA mission statement and vital to the culture that we have all worked to develop in the Carrabassett Region riding community. Please do not ride on Penobscot Nation Lands until we receive permission. As of May 24, 2021 this unfortunately includes the Carriage Road linking Carrabassett Valley and the Flagstaff area.

Town of Carrabassett Valley

Carrabassett Valley Trails is a committee of the Town of Carrabassett Valley. The CVTC is a partnership between the Town of Carrabassett Valley, CRNEMBA, Maine Huts & Trails and Sugarloaf created to coordinate and fuel the growth and maintenance of the unique, world class trail system here in the Carrabassett Region.

About our Trail Conditions

This trail condition page is hosted by CRNEMBA on behalf of the Carrabassett Valley trails Committee (CVTC). The CVTC is a partnership between the Town of Carrabassett Valley, CRNEMBA, Maine Huts & Trails and Sugarloaf created to coordinate and fuel the growth and maintenance of the unique, world class trail system here in the Carrabassett Region. A subcommittee was appointed to manage the maintenance and opening and closing of the trails. The following will guide those decisions:

Trail closure avoids costly damage when a significant length of trail surface is soft enough to rut with a tire. Efforts to repair damaged trails use resources better spent on new trails, and lead to longer term closures.
The CVTC and its subcommittee understand and share the desire to ride and intend to keep the trails open as often as possible! During spring and fall months, following some weather events, and depending on ground saturation, system wide closure may be necessary.
Closure decisions will be made by the subcommittee and will be based on input from a network of local riders.
Trail closures and openings will be made public via the CRNEMBA website Trail Conditions page and at Trailhead kiosks.
This is not yet an exact science. The subcommittee will do its best to adjust the criteria for determining closure as it continues to gain experience.
Landowners (e.g. Sugarloaf, Town of Carrabassett Valley) or leaseholders (e.g. MH&T) may exercise their right to a final say on closing or opening of certain trails.
