ing potato field trails , frozen lakes and serious boondocking in the mountains of the Allagash .
Trails are generally well marked , well mapped , and well maintained so getting around is easy . ITS 81 is one of the most unusual trails anywhere . Heading north from near the village of Limestone , this major snowmobile route is situated right on the Canadian border . Big granite border markers divide the northbound traffic that is actually in New Brunswick from the southbound traffic that ’ s in Maine . Just stay on the trail and you won ’ t run afoul of the border guards . But you have to check in at a border station and have required documentation to cross into Canada .
The County has more than its share of serious winter gatherings like Moose Stompers Weekend , the Log Driver ’ s Cookout and cross-country racing . Lodging properties , dining establishments and dealer support are very solid throughout the area . But what really sets this area apart are the people found there . They are simply the most friendly and most accommodating folks I ’ ve met anywhere in my extensive travels .
