The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has given word that all OFSC Prescribed Trails are officially closed for the season.
All the organization’s more than 30,000 kms of trails are bow RED on the Interactive Trail Guide (ITG).
Out of respect for landowners and to protect private property, crops and livestock from off-season trespass by other trail motorized users, the ITG will go offline effective March 26th until November 2021.
The OFSC’s Go Snowmobiling Apps will also not show OFSC trails until December 1, 2021.
The OFSC is cautioning all motorized trail users that OFSC Prescribed Trails on private property are for winter use only by snowmobiles displaying valid Snowmobile Trail Permits. Illegally entering any of these OFSC snowmobile trails in the off-season is not only dangerous, it’s also a chargeable act of trespass under Ontario law.
The OFSC is thanking landowners and club volunteers for making trail riding as enjoyable and safe as possible this past winter, and they look forward to welcoming permit holders back to our trails as they become available for snowmobiling again next season.
In the meantime, the OPP and the OFSC are warning snowmobilers to keep off the ice which is rapidly disappearing now that Spring is officially here.
