"During Provincial Snowmobile Safety Week, which begins today, snowmobilers are reminded that they can help make trails safer this winter by following a few simple rules.
The Ministry of Transportation and Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs recommend that snowmobilers: obey trail rules and respect posted speed limits; don’t drink and ride; stay on marked trails; check local ice conditions and the weather forecast before heading out; ride according to trail and weather conditions; avoid travelling on unmarked frozen lakes and rivers; ride with caution at night; wear an approved snowmobile helmet and buoyant snowmobile suit; pack a survival kit; never snowmobile alone; and tell someone where you are going, what route you will take and when you plan to return."
Ontario boasts over 80,000 km in trails. Whether you're in downtown Toronto or North of Superior, we have a trail for you. The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails. You'll find everything from gentle walking trails to rock faces for climbing and water routes to canoe and kayak.
