Trail Closure (2025) – ATV Season

by | Nov 30, 2025 | Events

Another great riding season comes to an end albeit with an early November snow that put a significant chill in the air.

It was a good summer and we had some great events raising funds for local charities.

Looking ahead to 2026 season, ATVing on DGATV’s trails generally starts May 1st (weather-permitting) and stays open to November 30th or until snow cover.  

Exceptions are:

  • Harkaway Forest opens to riding Tuesday-after-Victoria Day-weekend and closes on October 15th.
  • Grey County roads opens to riding on April 15th and closes on November 15th.
  • Owen Sound and Shelburne open to riding on April 15th.
Note:  All dates are tentative based on the landowner authorization.

Remember to stay tuned to our social media at the start of season.

Enjoy your winter and holiday season!
