The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is urging snowmobilers to stay safe and follow the rules this season. Before hitting the trails, riders should visit the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) website at ofsc.on.ca to check trail statuses.
Some trails remain closed due to hazards and are unsafe for travel. Riding on closed trails can lead to trespassing charges.
The OPP also reminds snowmobilers to ride responsibly. Obey trail speed limits, stay in control, and avoid impaired driving. Riders must stick to open (green) trails only and carry the necessary permits and insurance paperwork at all times.
Snowmobiling can be a thrilling winter activity, but safety is key. Checking trail conditions and following regulations not only keeps everyone safe but also avoids unnecessary fines or legal troubles.
