RESPONSIBLE SNOWMOBILING Members of the Dufferin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are excited to announce the start of the 2025 snowmobile season in Dufferin County. As the snowmobile trails gradually open, thanks to the hard work of local volunteers and much-needed snow from Mother Nature, the OPP urges snowmobilers to enjoy the season responsibly and respect the environment. Dufferin OPP would like to remind everyone about the importance of respectful snowmobiling. Please show respect to the landowners who generously allow access to their property for those with an OFSC trail pass. These landowners play a vital role in making snowmobiling possible for everyone. Our dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to maintain trails to the highest standard, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Snowmobiling on closed trails is not only illegal, but also dangerous. Trails can be closed for various reasons, and it's important to follow the rules for everyone's safety. Before heading out, make sure to check the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide (ITG) for the latest local trail status to avoid riding on closed trails.
