We loved our trip with Debbie and Richard Levasseur from 5 Lakes Lodge in Millinocket, Maine. And some photos that Rick took that day actually made it into the Oct 2015 copy of SnowGoer Magazine. If you have a copy, check out page 32 for “Magic Carpet Ride.”
“Riding in the shadows of Mount Katahdin in the rural backcountry of central Maine is scenic and serene.”
We would like to welcome you to Maine. Where the winters are one of the best times of the year for enjoying our outdoors! From skiing and snowshoeing to ice-fishing and, of course, snowmobiling!
Mainers have been snowmobiling since 1908* and have never looked back. The North Maine Woods have thousands of miles of groomed trails that are perfect for the whole family as a day excursion or a nice, week-long outing!

A snowmobile, also known as a motor sled or a snowmachine, is a motorized vehicle designed for winter travel and recreation on snow. It is designed to be operated on snow and ice and does not require a road or trail but most are driven on open terrain or trails. Snowmobiling is a sport that many people have taken on as a serious hobby.
Older snowmobiles could generally accommodate two people; however, most snowmobiles manufactured in the last twenty-five years have been designed for a single rider. Snowmobiles built with the ability to carry two riders are referred to as “2-up” snowmobiles or ‘touring’ models and make up an extremely small share of the market. Snowmobiles do not have any enclosures, except for a windshield, and their engines normally drive a continuous track at the rear. Skis at the front provide directional control.
