FYI (For your information)

Currently, ATV’s are not permitted to drive on any roads south of Glenarm Road (Kawartha Road 8), and then it is only to gain access to designated trails. (This road is west of Fenelon Falls).

To help prevent future legislative change enabling ATV’s to drive on our roads, please click the link on the right and sign our ‘NO ATV’s online petition”.

For your information, here is a list of ‘ATV Rules of the road’ within City of Kawartha Lakes

  • ATV’s cannot drive on ANY roads south of Glenarm Rd. (Kawartha Road 8).  In so doing, they can be charged under the Highway Traffic Act.
  • Only with the consent of the landowner, can ATV’s  be legally driven on private property
  • Without the above, ATV’s are allowed only on designated trails (see local routes listed at http://www.kawarthaatv.com).
  • All ATV drivers / riders must wear helmets
  • Many snowmobile trails are NOT open for ATV usage
  • Currently, youth between 12 & 16 can ride the designated trail system only if accompanied by an adult over the age of 18.
  • ATV drivers must have a G2 (or greater) driver’s licence to cross a roadway. NOTE: for areas that have passed a bylaw allowing ATV’s on their roadways, the ATV driver must have a valid drivers licence
