DGATV is pleased to announce that the Harkaway Forest Tract is open to ATVs and side-by-sides effective Tuesday-following-the-Victoria Day-weekend (May 25, 2021).
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.
Harkaway Forest is located east of the Robson Road trail and is owned by Grey County.
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.
Take care because Harkaway Forest is open to hunters at certain times of the year.
The tract closes October 15th or snow, whatever comes first.
Riders, please respect our landowner agreement in the use of this forest. Your participation is crucial in keeping this tract available to us.

Dufferin Grey ATV Club, the County of Dufferin and the County of Grey are pleased to announce that side-by-sides (maximum width 54″) are welcome on the rail trail and in Harkaway Forest when this riding season begins.
After several years of negotiations with impressive perseverance, DGATV’s Board of Directors are happy to make this announcement — a crowning achievement to celebrate DGATV’s 15th Anniversary!
Side-by-side owners have shown a lot of interest in making full use of DGATV’s trails and we expect that the club will garner new members as a result of this terrific news.
Adjustments will be made to the trails to accommodate the width limit (i.e. gate tweaks) over the summer season. If you see an area that needs attention please contact info@dgatv.ca with location and specifics.
Larger side-by-sides (maximum width 65″) are still welcome to use the blue-markered rail trail by-pass.
While side-by-sides are generally welcome on Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs (OFATV) trails, remember to check with the local club before you ride to ensure that side-by-sides are accepted on their trails.
Looking forward to a great season ATV & Side-by-side Riders!

Hastings County Council welcomes ATV riders by advancing an agreement between Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) and the Ontario Federation of All-Terrain Vehicles (OFATV). The Memorandum of Understanding regarding the use of Hastings County Trails allows OFATV riders to use Hastings County trails as part of an OFATV membership.
More specifically these trails are the Hastings County Heritage Trail from Lake St. Peter in the north to the Trent River to the south in Hastings County and the Trans Canada Rail trail from Hastings counties Western to the Eastern border.
The trails connect multiple clubs and trail systems making our vision of a provincial connected trail system one step closer. Our hope is that this will benefit riders both local and visiting while providing a significant economic boost to the tourism industry in Hastings County and beyond.
The trails will be added to OFATV’s provincial QuadON mapping system that can be found at http://QuadON.ca or by downloading the QuadON App on your Android or Apple device.
OFATV thanks Eastern Ontario Trail Alliance and Hastings County for their collaboration on this agreement. The two organizations look forward to working together on a more connected Ontario.
