Riding ATVs is one of the most exciting activities that

the Androscoggin Valley has to offer. The Androscoggin

Valley is the capital of the ATV community on the East

Coast. Explore our 1,000+ mile interconnected trail

system, Ride the Wilds, which runs across Coös County,

New Hampshire’s beautiful Grand North. Ride the Wilds

offers three seasons of ATV riding with interconnected

trails that make it possible to head out for a day or more

without trailering your machine from one location

to another. Androscoggin Valley is the Southeast Portal

of the trail system, offering access to riding areas in the

ATV-friendly towns of Berlin, Cambridge, Gorham,

Milan, and Success. Jericho Mountain State Park,

home of the annual Jericho ATV Festival in August,

is just outside the communities of Gorham and Berlin

and offers a great riding opportunity. The Ride the Wilds

Corridor trail runs through the park and then heads

north through Success and Cambridge. Along this

section of trail, there are spectacular views to the

south looking at the Presidential Range of the White

Mountains. Androscoggin Valley has a number of dealers

and tour operators to get you out and enjoying the

fabulous trails, and the local community is fully geared

toward making your ATV experience the best it possibly

can be!
