The Oxbow-Masardis Snowmobile Club was founded in 1987 by local lodge and sporting camp owners who saw the need for a recreational destination where snowmobilers can get away from crowded trails and enjoy “small town” hospitality.

Oxbow, located in northeast Aroostook county in northern Maine is named for the oxbow shape of the Aroostook river as it winds its way through town on its way to New Brunswick, Canada. Oxbow has a year around population of around 60 residents. Our sister town, Masardis lies 5 miles north on state route 11. Masardis is best known to snowmobilers as the site of the Carl Sherman suspension bridge that spans the St Croix stream.

The Maine Interconnecting Trail System (ITS) routes ITS 85 and ITS 86 connect just south of Oxbow. Several miles of local club trails also provide an opportunity to observe the many forms of wildlife present in the north Maine woods.

Our trails are maintained by a 2007 Tucker Sno-Cat with a Mogul Master drag. Packing and grooming operations start in mid-December and continue until mid to late April. Our state certified groomer operators log around 500 hours annually.

The average yearly snowfall in northern Maine ranges from 100 to 120 inches. However, during the recent 2007-2008 season we had a record snowfall with just under 200 inches for the year.

We invite you to join or club. Membership forms are available on this site.
