Trail permits required for ATV and off-road motorcycle riders on Renfrew County Recreational Trails

The Algonquin Trail and K&P Trail open to motorize users on May 1. Please note permits are required through provincial federations for riders of all-terrain vehicles and off-road motorcycles.

RELEASE DATE:

April 30, 2025

The County of Renfrew has signed an agreement with a provincial federation which will allow off-road motorcycle riders to access Recreational Trails in Renfrew County.

The County has executed a License Agreement with the Ontario Federation of Trail Riders (OFTR), the provincial body representing off-road motorcycle riders, to allow permit holding members of their organization to use of the Algonquin Trail and the K&P Recreational Trail.

The License Agreement with OFTR is similar to an existing agreement in place with the Renfrew County ATV Club (RCATV), requiring that riders have a licence and insurance, and hold a valid permit from the Licensing Agency (OFTR or RCATV).

Permits can be purchased from either organization at the links below:

OFTR: https://rideoftr.vercel.app/join/choosePlan

RCATV: https://permits2.ofatv.org/register/step-1

A permit from either organization provides riders with full access to their respective trail networks across the province.

Off-road motorcycles and ATVs are permitted on the trails as of May 1.

We do ask that all trail users respect the multi-use nature of the trails and show courtesy to one another while enjoying the natural beauty of the County Recreational Trails.
