DGATV’s Executive, Wardens and Trail Crew are hard at work keeping the trails in good shape for the summer.
Trails are monitored for the safety of all users — hikers, bikers, ATVers, and horseback riders.
Fallen trees are cut. Gaping holes are filled. Sign posts are cleared of grass and brush.
Parking areas are trimmed and mowed.
If you see an area that needs maintenance, please let us know at info@dgatv.ca.
If you want a great excuse to get out on the trails AND help support the club, become a Warden.
Or if you are the handyman-type, wanting to ride and preferring to work here and there, talk to our Trail Captain (519.266.3559 ext. 3).
Every little bit helps!
A big Thank You to all of our trail workers, we couldn’t do it without YOU!

Be ready to ride at the Markdale CP Rail Trail parking lot (County Road 12 west of Markdale) at 10am (registration 9am). This is a flash ride thrown together by our keen riders to enjoy the trails simply and without much ado. No promises, no formality, just riding.
Trail Route: A mix of public and private properties including the rail trail and some road running.
Participants: This ride is open to OFATV/EOTA members and non-members. A day pass for non-members cost $20. Memberships ($150) and day passes will be available for purchase.
Two-up riding is allowed, and side-by-sides will be accommodated.
For young operators, aged 12 to 16, the ATV should be sized appropriately for the child’s weight. The child must be accompanied by an adult on the trail. Legally, the child cannot ride on the road without a valid Ontario driver’s license (G2/M2). DGATV does not condone young operators riding on the roads.
Other: As with any ride, it is advisable 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.
We look forward to seeing you on the trail and hope you have a great ride!
