Road Speed Limits

Dufferin Grey ATV Club (DGATV) and the Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs (OFATV) rely on the largesse of land-owners and land-stewards for trail access.  To that end, DGATV has made agreements on members’ behalf:

  • DGATV members agree to adhere to local by-laws (see Other Links).
  • Stay off the trail after November 30th until May 1st (weather and area dependent).
  • DGATV members agree to treat the trail and other trail users with respect (please don’t litter)
  • DGATV members agree to speed limits:

Harkaway Forest Tract (General Info)

Harkaway Forest trails open to ATVs and side-by-sides effective the Tuesday following the Victoria Day weekend until October 15th (or snow, whichever is first).

Harkaway Forest is located east of the Robson Road trail and is owned by Grey County.  Click here for more information about the forest.

A nature trail through hardwoods and evergreens, this 2-km multi-use trail is used by hikers, horseback riders; ATVs in the summer, and snowmobiles in the winter.

ATVs and side-by-sides with a maximum width of 54″ are permitted in the forest.

Parking is located off the Townline just north of Markdale.

Riders, check before you ride because Harkaway Forest may be open to hunters only at certain times of the year.

In addition, please be respectful of the property. Your participation is crucial in keeping this tract available to us.
