All trails in Topsham are still officially closed for mud season effective April 28th
Operating an ATV in wetlands, marshes, rivers, and streams is illegal in Maine.
We kindly ask that you stay off the trails during and just after heavy rains. This will cut down on the damage that could our club a lot of time and money to keep the land owners happy. Enjoy the ride this summer and always respect the land to which you ride on and the landowners which allow us to ride.
As of April 28th, all of the trails in Topsham are still closed for mud season and will remain closed for the foreseeable future. All are welcomed to navigate to our events page and join us during our trail work projects.
We appreciate you remaining off the trails during mud season.
Topsham Trailriders currently has limited access to the West Side of our trail system due to an active reroute project. The club has been working diligently to identify solutions and continue moving this project forward.
We are pleased to share that, thanks to the cooperation of a local landowner, we are hopeful to have a small West Side Park and Ride option available in the very near future. While this will provide an access option, there is still a significant amount of work to complete, including work on the reroute and preparation of the Park and Ride location. At this time, neither is ready for ATV access.
This project relies heavily on volunteer support. If you are looking for a way to get involved and help improve trail access, now is the time. Participation at upcoming work parties will directly impact how quickly progress can be made.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.

If you have not looked at the trail map you need to so that you ride on the correct trails this season. We have many water crossings and we try to keep an eye on them for your safety.

Respect Landowners - Stay on marked trails and obey all posted signs. Use is a privilege, not a right. Rid at your own risk.
The only authorized parking lot use on the east side is across from the bus garage for loading and unloading. Without property owners consent there would be no trails for people to ride. Take the extra time now to look over your sleds and make sure they are ready for some fun in the snow without the headache of being stuck out in the winter wonderland walking when you should be riding.
All ice/water crossings are ride at your own risk.
All snowmobile trails are operated on privately owned land. Land owners have the right to stipulate what can and cannot be operated on the trails that use their property. If these stipulations are not followed the snowmobile club will lose the use of that land owner's property. Individuals damaging or abusing their property will result in the loss of all snowmobile trails for everyone.
Please stay on established trails, if not we could lose the use of the trails all together. Please use marked bridges to cross WET, STREAM or Marsh areas on the trails. Failure to do so will result in sections of the trail being CLOSED permanently by landowners.
Access between east and west side of town is not possible anymore due to the trail being closed by the landowner several years ago.
Access to and from Lisbon Falls on trail #1C is not possible anymore due to a closed gate on the Ward Rd.
While riding please wear proper protective equipment and keep speeds at a safe level. Ride Smart, Ride Safe, Ride Sober.
