The Van Buren ATV Club was established in 1987. We have 66 miles of trails. We welcome all of you to come and ride our beautiful trails. Check out our map and see all of our atv access routes we have. This makes it easy to get to our trails and also to get food and gas.

Our meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm at the Van Buren Community Center. We start in April and end with our Annual Banquet in November. If you are interested in joining our club, please click on the Membership Form

 ATV Maine Stickers

 

     Irving Woodlands requires all atv's including visitors to have 2 stickers.  An ATV Maine sticker and a club sticker from a club that has a signed contract with Irving.  The Van Buren Club has a signed contract for 5 months from June 1 to October 31, 2009.  Permit is good for traditional ATV's only, vehicles such as mini trucks etc. are not allowed.  Irving Woodlands does not authorize atv use off designated trails.  Members can get their ATV Maine stickers from the club for $1.00 each.  You can get ATV Maine stickers from club directors or at Ouellette's Trading Post & Rod's Repair Shop.  If you already have an ATV Maine sticker on your atv, you do not have to purchase another. 

Thanks
