Special thanks to all that participated in the Dundalk food bank ride!
We appreciated donations from our 43 riders as well as sponsors Larry’s Small Engines and M.a.N. Services.
Final tally: $3,746 to the Dundalk food bank and 70lbs of food donations.
The weather held, the trails were just right and everyone had a fun day. We couldn’t ask for more in a charity ride.
Thank you for your support to this great cause!
Thanks to all our Volunteers, Directors, Wardens, Landowners, Sponsors and Riders … we couldn’t do it without You!

It’s that time of year again — DGATV’s Harkaway Forest trail is now closed for the season.
Riders, please respect our landowner agreement and keep your machine out of the forest.
Your participation is crucial in keeping this tract available to us.
Please use the bypass trail.
Harkaway Forest is expected to re-open in June 2022 after the turkey hunt.

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 🙂
