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.
