Welcome to Winn
The town of Winn makes its home on the East Banks of the Penobscot River. It was first settled by Joeseph Snow in 1820, the same year Maine’s received its own statehood. Originally known as Snowville, the name was changed to Five Islands Plantation before the final name of Winn was selected in 1857.
As with early rural Maine towns, Winn became a thriving community complete with a tannery and supporting local businesses. The tannery was the second largest in the world, but tragically burned in 1892. While the town’s size has declined since, many people still call Winn home. The Haynes family, prominent business people in the forest products industry, have been mainstays in the area, providing jobs for hundreds of area people through the decades. They also gifted beautiful property directly on the Penobscot River to be used as a boat launch and picnic area that is used and appreciated by visitors and locals alike. H. C. Haynes, Inc. was one of the first Trailblazers to donate $1,000 toward Maine D. O. T. approved Pine Tree Trail signs.

ATVing & Snowmobiling

Those who live in this area appreciate all the hard work that local clubs put into their snowmobile and ATV trails. For years, Dwinal Pond 4 Seasons Club has taken on a tremendous number of trails to care for. Riders will love the many types of riding here, and you can connect easily to other clubs’ trails for long journeys or short jaunts.
