�Trail 42 logging notice:

�Please note that much of our northernmost trail #42 has been altered and is being used as a logging road.� Gravel has been added and it will be easier to ride, but we all have to watch out for, and respect the logging trucks that will also be using this trail for the foreseeable future.� Please exercise extra caution!

�The best news for our sport in Ontario in recent history!

� After many long years, the Ontario government has finally approved the use of 2-up ATV's, UTV's, and SxS equipment on public roads in Ontario, subject to the same municipal laws that previously existed for 1-up ATV's.� With the notable exception of most of southern Ontario which generally does not permit ATV's on the road, this means most other equipment types will be permitted on the road in the same fashion as 1-up ATV's have been for many years now beginning July 1, 2015.� Read the official Ontario news release here.� Check with your local clubs or municipalities to determine exactly how it affects you.

� Read the article written by the Algonquin West ATV club webmaster about the new law!

� Published in the Northern Ontario Travel media group, more about what it means for all of us.� Updated June 17 with new information and links to the new regulations!� See it here.�

� What the new legislation means for Algonquin West ATV club.

� We are fortunate to already enjoy generous legal road riding privileges in nearly our entire trail system area, and the towns that surround us, including Kearney, Burks Falls, Sundridge, South River and many others with only one exception which is the four lane, divided Highway 11, but you can cross it at the tunnel on the Seguin trail, or any of the numerous bridges that cross it every few clicks.� We are once again working on direct access to Huntsville, and it is before town council right now.� 2-up ATV's, UTV's and SxS equipment will get the same privileges as 1-up ATV's currently get effective July 1, 2015.

We invite everyone to come out to our monthly meetings!

�Come on out and find out what we are all about.� Our meetings are held the 2nd Monday of each month in the Parker room in the Emsdale Community Centre, 29 Joseph St. Emsdale, at 7pm.� You will find it on the map here.

�Your membership dollars at work on the trails and in the community.

�We put virtually every membership and event dollar right back into the trails we work so hard to expand, improve and maintain!� On top of the extensive amount of work we put into the trails ourselves, we were also able to contribute $5,000 each to the two main OFSC clubs in our area that we share responsibilities, and trails with.� The two clubs are the Highland Rovers, and the Almaguin District snowmobile club, which we also contributed $7000 to last year for a major bridge removal and culvert solution for a trail we all share.� If you ride our trails, make sure and do your part, have a valid membership, and please also consider volunteering your time with us, we need all the help we can get! �

�Trail 15 extension notice

�We have recently opened and insured an extension of our trail 15 to help accommodate residents and cottagers of the Clear Lake area, northeast of Novar, to gain trail access to our club.� We plan on a further extension of this in 2015.� It runs from the Seguin Trail south on Rochester Lake road to Bay Lake road, where it picks up the snowmobile trail to the Homeland Drive area.� Two landowner agreements are now in place to protect the landowners (thank you!) and riders must stay on the marked trail without fail in this area.� This trail is signed now, and will be properly mapped later in the year once improvements are completed.� This trail is closed to ATV's until our system re-opens in late April.

�Does Algonquin West have the greatest trails in Ontario?

�We know we have amazing trails, but Graham Adams, an experienced powersports writer and photographer, has ridden most clubs trails in Ontario, and he certainly thinks so!� Graham was invited to be a member of the Go Riding snowmobiling team that visited the arctic circle in Finland, a dream trip for anyone.� Read his review of our trails here-http://www.northernontario.travel/atving/are-these-the-greatest-atv-trails-in-ontario-riding-with-the-algonquin-west-atv-club
