Background

In 2013, a pilot program was introduced for Nation Valley ATV Club members to ride on a designated ATV trail network within the City of Ottawa, in Ward 20. The trail network contains portions of City owned opened and unopened road allowances in Ward 20.

In December of 2019, the City of Ottawa adopted ATV, ORV and Snowmobile By-law 2019-421 which formalized the previous pilot project. 

Over the past few years, the region has seen increasing usage and interest in ATV activities. Three ATV clubs, Nation Valley ATV Club, Rideau Lakes ATV Club, and West Carleton ATV Club are proposing to add new trails to connect their existing network in the City of Ottawa to better connect to their trails in the Ottawa Valley.

At the request of the clubs, the City of Ottawa is consulting on these proposed trails.


Proposal

The Nation Valley ATV Club is proposing the following trails:

  • Wood Duck Swamp Detour
  • Osgoode Village Loop
  • ATV Club of Eastern Ontario
  • Vars to Larose Forest


The Rideau Lakes ATV Club is proposing the following trails:

  • Connection to Other OFATV Clubs
  • Access to North Gower
  • Marlborough Forest


The West Carleton ATV Club is proposing the following trails:

  • Ottawa West Trails
