The 20-mile loop that includes all-terrain vehicle trails at Mt. Blue State Park are closed for the season and may remain closed indefinitely. the closure has little to do with storm damage, although there was some. The trail is too narrow for the machines now being built and has become a safety hazard. The cost to renovate the trail that runs through Mt. Blue, including widening the bridges is $100,000 for that 20-mile loop. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry decided that was too much to spend on such a short trail.
