Located in the upper northeastern section of Massachusetts is the Georgetown-Rowley State Forest. These are dry, hard packed trails that make for some great ATVing. The trails tend to dry very quickly after a rain. Georgetown Rowley State Forest is located in northeastern Massachusetts roughly 30-miles north from Boston. This ATV trail is over 1,100-acres of forest area and if you use one of the connecting ATV trails, you can extend your ride by going into the Willowdale State Forest.
Because these trails are a flat and hard packed, you will find that you can go a little faster than on your average ATV trail ride. Use caution however because these are multi-use trails and you will encounter other traffic on the trails and you want to be traveling at a safe speed that will allow you to brake your ATV safely. Along with being a fantastically easy ATV ride, this flat, dirt trail can kick up a lot of debris and dust. Make sure that you are wearing a good fitting pair of goggles along with your helmet.
As with many riding areas managed by the state, these ATV trails are bordered on all sides by privately owned property and certain areas will be gated off entirely. Get permission before riding on private areas, and always leave the area better than you found it. If you see trash strewn around an area, take a moment and pick it up. If you see gates that have been mistakenly left open, close them. That's being a responsible ATV rider.
No matter when you visit this ATV trail system; Georgetown-Rowley State Forest Riding Area will always make for fun and easy day of ATV riding.
