Dear Editor,
Once again it's time to think about preparing snowmobile trails for the coming season.
Unfortunately, we have a problem this winter. Because of illegal trespassing activities by ATV riders, landowners have permanently closed the Bluewater Snomobile Club trail from Sobeys to Intersection 321.
This closure affects the snowmobilers from the centre and south end of Kincardine. It also has a large impact on businesses servicing trail users, including Holiday Inn Express, Tim Hortons, Boston Pizza, Crossroads Esso, McDonald's and Best Western Governor's Inn.
Many may say, "Just reroute the trail," but the Bluewater Snowmobile Club and the OFSC work very hard to gain permission to cross landowners' property. This is done by contacting the landowner, obtaining signed permission to cross the property, insuring the landowner against property damage and agreeing to removal of trail at the season's end.
We ask all ATV'rs to ATV Smart -
