🚨 Attention Snowmobilers 🚨
Sled Dog Teams on the Trails Saturday through Tuesday!
As the Can-Am Crown Sled Dog Races take over the trails, we want to remind all snowmobilers to ride responsibly and share the trails safely with these incredible canine athletes and their mushers. Dogs and volunteers will be traveling the trails in Northern Aroostook County from Saturday, February 28 through Tuesday, March 3.
Trail Etiquette for Snowmobilers (Tag and share with your snowmobile clubs):
✅ Obey All Trail Signage – Watch for “Sled Dog Race in Progress” and “Shared Sled Dog Trail” signs.
✅ Snowmobilers should expect to See Dog Teams at Any Time – Be prepared, especially on turns and blind corners – a long string of dogs doesn't corner like a machine. Stay right, slow down, and be ready to stop when a team is present.
✅ Slow Down & Pass Safely – If you meet an oncoming sled dog team, move to the opposite side of the trail and reduce speed to 5 mph for a safe pass.
✅ Even Better—Stop & Enjoy the Moment! – If possible, stop your engine, grab your camera, and enjoy a close-up view of the Can-Am that not many people get to see.
✅ Lead Responsibly – Group leaders set the pace. A fast leader creates fast followers, increasing the risk of accidents. Keep it controlled, ride safe, and stay alert for dog teams.
🏆 The Can-Am Crown is the largest and most respected long-distance sled dog race in the Eastern U.S. We welcome all snowmobilers to enjoy the event and the beauty of Northern Maine.
🐶 Please slow down, ride safe, and enjoy at its finest.
