ATV Adventure: Visiting the Bingham, ME, Wind Farm

Pay a visit to the largest wind farm installation in the state of Maine in this ATV short film with 201 Powersports in Bingham, Maine. One of the more surreal ATV destinations in the Kennebec Valley Region is the Bingham Wind Farm, in Bingham, Maine. A good jumping-off spot for this trip is 201 Powersports, an ATV and snowmobile outfitter right on Rte. 201 in Bingham. From 201 Powersports, the wind farm is 10 miles distant. Round-trip can run anywhere from two to six hours, depending on the trails and how much of the project you want to see. The wind farm itself-which runs along a high ridgeline amid spruce and hardwood forest-is quite impressive, and you really can’t appreciate how massive the towers are until you’re standing directly below them, listening to the whoosh of the giant blades sweeping overhead. Constructed in 2015-16, the site comprises 57 towers, making it the largest wind farm project in the state. One is left to marvel at how these futuristic “towers of power” were constructed in this remote part of Maine.

I heard about this while snowmobiling to Bingham from my camp in Eustis. I heard the view was nice. Going to go for it this year hopefully.

Standing below the big blades is a surreal experience for sure.

@@ExploreNewEngland just went last week! Nice trail. We have one north of Eustis in the Coburn Mountain area. Definitely indestructible to be right upside them as they spin.
