Maine Snowmobile

Jackman and Moose River have been catering to snowmobilers for over 20 years. The snowmobile trails are ideally located for access to accommodations, restaurants and services of all kinds. From the Jackman -Moose River Region, the ITS trails can take you North into the Province of Quebec, South to the Forks, Eustis and Rangeley, or East to the northeast Carry, Rockwood, Greenville and beyond. There is no region of Maine that cannot be reached by snowmobile from Jackman. (that is if THEY have snow!) Get our up to date trail reports!

Maine ice fishing
Ice Fishing

Ice fishing is an extremely popular sport. The Lakes and Ponds in the region: Big Wood Lake, Little Big Wood, Holeb Pond, Long Pond and Spencer Lake, are usually thick enough to travel on by season open (January 1st) and stay frozen well into March.

Even at night, you may see lights scattered over the lake as Big Wood is especially noted for its large Cusk population. Other common fish are Salmon, togue, Brook trout, and splake. Be sure to enter the local fishing derby or take advantage of Maine's Free Fishing Days in February! Children of all ages get a thrill to see their flags pop up hoping that they got "the big one"


sled dog racing

Maine Sled Dog Races

There are usually 2 races offered in the Jackman region: the Moose River Run and the Northeast Championship race which is a fast paced and diversified event featuring everything from one dog skijoring to large sled teams. Dog teams from all over the US come to Jackman to compete in this sport. Great fun for the spectator too as you watch the teams race to the finish. On a regional proud note: two local youths will be sponsoring the US in the IFSS World Championships to be held in Quebec in January 2009.

Maine Snowshoeing
Snowshoe in Maine

Come up to Jackman this winter and enjoy all that it has to offer even if your are not a sportsman. Put on your snowshoes and take a hike. Appreciate the beauty and serenity that a simple walk in the woods can offer! You can follow summer hiking or bike trails and enjoy nature walking atop fluffy white snow amidst tall evergreens, blue skies, and perfect serenity. With all of this snow, you can make your own path anywhere when you put on a pair of snowshoes.


Maine Hunting snowshoe hare
Winter Hunting

Don't put away your hunting gear yet. Hunting in Maine does not end in November with deer season. Ruffed Grouse season ends in December and Snowshoe Hare, Bobcat, Coyote and Fox hunting continues well through the winter months.

The hundreds of miles of logging roads in the region allow for access to areas filled with spruce and fir that support hare and coyote habitats.


GPS Geocache Jackman Maine
Geocache in Jackman Maine

Geocaching is "a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices." There are about 26 locations in this region, many are accessible in the winter via snowmobile or snowshoe. Before you visit Jackman, look up the caches in our zip code of 04945 to participate in the hunt. Don't forget to bring something to leave in the geocache. This is great fun for families.

Photography in Maine

You do not need to have a rifle or a GPS device to enjoy hunting in Maine. The winter scenery in this region can be captured with your camera too. Take a shot at wildlife, trees covered with snow, a babbling brook meander around thick ice and snow covered ground or best of all, capture the good times you have while visiting the Jackman-Moose River region.

QUOTES

"From cusk fishing in winter, deer hunting in fall and just plain relaxing any other time-Jackman is the ultimate Maine Travel destination for the active sportsmen. The best kept secret in Maine and all of New England."

"We saw 19 Moose, 14 Deer, 2 Bald Eagles, 3 skunk, 4 Chipmunks and a few Loons."

"Jackman is a really cool laid back town and the area is the kind I like-open space and open road"

"Went across Big Wood Lake to the Border trail. As we came off the lake & through a tunnel of trees came across our first deer. Very calm, just sat there and watched us. Went all the way to the border. Took 89S and the new Sugar Hill Loop (very nice)."

"We have fished for brook trout for 2 days. We caught plenty. They are beautiful. I love brook trout. It is all I like to fish for. Had never pulled one up through the ice before. That was awesome. When the eagle's flew over us for a while when we were fishing, was a spiritual experience. That was the best part of the trip for me."
