Maine’s Interconnected Trail System (ITS) includes 4,000 miles of uninterrupted trails and offers rides across Maine’s most scenic landscapes, complete with moose, Canada lynx, black bear, bald eagles, and other wildlife. In fact, Maine has the biggest moose and black bear populations in the Lower 48, according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
