Someone has made our Trail Captain angry. We quote:
____________________________________
To the clowns that were playing in the Beaver River off Graham’s Hill, you have just given another black eye to atving.
1. You were in the river.
2. You were destroying a spawning area of the river. You where close to the source of the Beaver River and a sensitive ecological area.
3. You were trespassing.
4. You left the Club to deal with an angry and upset Landowner.
5. We have only been allowed to use that road for a couple of years and you have put continued use of this road and others at risk. You have made it more difficult for the Club to keep the trails we have and obtain permission to use other areas.
Man or woman-up and next time you are that way apologize to the Landowners. Everyone please use your brains when you get on your atv.
____________________________________
DGATV can’t stress enough how riders need to be on their best behaviour to establish an ATV trail system in this area and across the province. Recreational ATVing is a new sport. The trails we have are no more than 10 years old. Every season — every day — is a trial period for us. All it takes is one rider to close down a property, and close down a trail.
Word gets out. If the Landowners start to hear about problems, disrespect or “simply more trouble than its worth” they will shut us out.
The only incentive a Landowner has to let the trail cross their property is courtesy and kindness to others. Please show our Landowners the courtesy and kindness they deserve.

Happily Walters Falls Tract has been declared dry enough and safe enough to ride.
There is a fallen tree at the lower east access but the upper access (top of hill) is clear.
Side-by-sides are welcome and the tract is great for family riding. Some of the trails are narrow and require some skill.
Picnic and portapotty facilities available courtesy of the club. Please take care of this equipment, as members, we own it!
Ride with care.

Join us for this fun first club ride of the season!
9:00am Registration / 10:00am Ride
Staging from DGATV’s Dundalk parking area (located off Grey St. on the west side of Dundalk. The field is alongside the C.P Trail at the corner of Grey and Proton Streets; between Dundalk St. and Proton St.), we will be checking out the newly marked side-by-side by-pass trail as well as some favourite sites. We’ll ride an easy mix of public and private properties including road running.
Members and non-members; ATV and side-by-side riders are welcome.
Bring your lunch and some cash. As with any ride, it is advised to dress appropriately and have extra fuel, drinking water, snack, drinks, rain gear, bug spray, basic repair tools, bandaids, compass, map and cell phone on hand. Note that there may not be cell service in the area. (New Riders)
Annual permits ($150) and day passes ($20) will be available for purchase. (Membership Info)
Also DGATV/ Firefighter raffle tickets ($5 each) and 50/50 tickets will be for sale.
Ride participants will be asked to make a donation to charity. Proceeds will be directed to Dundalk Public School’s Breakfast Club, helping to ensure that students start their day with a healthy breakfast. Last year proceeds from this ride resulted in $620 going to the Beavercrest Community School.
Come Ride With Us!
