The Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands has issued a new Maine All-Terrain Vehicle Trail Map for the 2010 riding season.

But officials say the trails will remain closed until the land dries out.

The new map features 6,000 miles of ATV trails throughout the state that can be used during three seasons.

Maine ATV Program Coordinator Brian Bronson says Maine's 2,300 miles of interconnected ATV trails is the largest in the country.

Bronson tells the Sun Journal of Lewiston that based on increasing telephone calls from riders eager to get out, the interest in ATV trails is increasing.

“We’ve had success bringing illegal riders to justice by snapping photos of their ID stickers. The problem in California is that they’re too darn small to see from far away or at high speeds. While I’m normally not in favor of the government getting involved in things, requiring all ORVs to have a visible ID with a minimum size and standard location would make them an even better tool for property owners to identify trespassing riders. We should also look to Wyoming’s lead and make trespassing penalties clear so riders think twice before they head off designated trails and onto my land.”
