The Jeep grumbles to life and the forest seems to lean in as you slide off the paved road into the Margaree Valley’s backcountry. Trees crowd the rutted trail, puddles flash like small mirrors, and the river’s voice follows—daring you to go farther. Over four hours a guide reads the terrain, choosing lines through ATV tracks, logging trails and a private terrain park that puts the vehicle’s capabilities to work.
