Grey Bruce OPP say they’ve received several complaints about snowmobile riders accessing closed trails and are warning most trails remain closed.
According to OPP, complaints have come from local snowmobile clubs and area landowners about riders that are trespassing on lands, riding off marked trails or riding around closed gates and access points.
As of Wednesday evening, there are only limited trails open in the Owen Sound area and in southern Grey County near Durham and Markdale. No snowmobile trails have opened yet in Bruce County.
Grey Bruce OPP say they will be patrolling the trails this winter, ensuring that riders are safe and sober, and enforcing laws, including the Highway Traffic Act, Motorized Snow Vehicles Act and Trespass to Property Act and checking for permits, insurance and proper documentation.
