Jugtown Forest Trail

NOTE: This area is primarily used by snowmobilers and off-road drivers. Hancock Lumber's 5,000 acre privately owned working forest contains looping trails from 0.1 to 1.4 miles in length. The forest and miles of marked trails are open for responsible public access and enjoyment in accordance with Hancock Lumbers rules and regulations. Jugtown Forest gives you access to a treasured part of Western Maine. This 5,000 acre privately owned working forest encompasses parts of Casco, Naples and Otisfield, and is open for recreation and nature exploration. The aptly-named Crooked River winds its way through our land abundant with healthy pitch pine trees. In winter, it's not uncommon to see dog sledders whisk along tote roads or a family snowmobiling on trails maintained by the Crooked River and Muddy River SnoSeekers Snowmobile Clubs. The warmer seasons bring a greater diversity of recreational uses, from hunting and hiking to horseback riding, blueberry picking and birding and, of course, canoeing and fishing on the river. ATV traffic is permitted from May 15 through Dec 15 on marked trails only.
