DGATV’s Executive along with Grey and Dufferin counties are happy to announce that DGATV’s trails are OPEN effective Friday, June 11, 2021 for DGATV’s 15th season!
Dufferin Grey ATV Club’s (DGATV) typical season extends from May 1st to November 30th (or first snowfall). However, due to the governments’ pandemic response, DGATV’s trails were closed for the first part of the season.
The Government of Ontario’s province-wide Stay-at-Home order expired on June 2, 2021 but Ontario’s Roadmap to Reopen plan didn’t take effect until June 11th (revised from June 14th) further delaying the opening.
Grey County reminds riders to be in compliance with the distancing rules, and to adhere to all other rules (e.g. limits on social gatherings, if sharing a machine must be from same household, etc.).
Now that the trails are open, don’t forget to check the OFATV trails map or the QuadON smart phone application for active updates re: construction and routes under maintenance.
Happy trails 🙂

FAQs

Dufferin Grey ATV Club (DGATV) is associated with the Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs (OFATV).
The OFATV administers all the club memberships. Click here to buy your annual membership or permit and be sure to specify DGATV if you want to be a member of our club.
When you buy your annual membership a permit sticker will be sent to you in the mail. The permit sticker is to be affixed to the front left of the ATV, from the perspective of the operator sitting on the ATV. The recommended placement position is on the side of the front left fender.
The sticker should be displayed in a location easily viewed by oncoming authorities. This allows an approaching Trail Warden, County Official, Police Officer or Ministry of Natural Resources Officer to view the pass, inspect the dates and get you on your way as quickly as possible. Having the pass in other locations or hidden means you will be stopped longer and susceptible to further inspection.
