Committee approves two-year pilot expansion of all-terrain vehicle trail network
April 3, 2025
The City’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee today approved a two-year pilot project expansion of the trail network for all-terrain vehicles in parts of rural Ottawa.
The City’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee today approved a two-year pilot project expansion of the trail network for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in parts of Osgoode, Rideau-Jock and West Carleton-March wards.
The committee approved amendments to the ATV, ORV and Snowmobile By-law to expand routes onto more City-owned lands, adding approximately 242 kilometres of new routes to the network. This includes 132 kilometres in West Carleton-March Ward, 47 kilometres in Rideau Jock Ward, and 63 kilometres in Osgoode Ward.
The expansion of the ATV trail network would be a two-year pilot project that would be subject to staff review of traffic safety and rider conduct. The recommended expansions include:
- Routes near the Village of Vars that connect the village to the Larose Forest
- Routes near Osgoode Village that include a detour around Wood Duck swamp, a loop connecting west Osgoode with existing routes to the east, and a connection east from the village to the ATV club of Eastern Ontario
- Routes near North Gower that connect Paden Road to the village, including a loop within the village to access food and gas, as well as routes south and southwest of the Marlborough Forest
- Routes in West Carleton-March Ward that extend across the ward, between the City limit to the west and the Ottawa River to the east, and south from the Ottawa River almost to Rideau-Jock Ward.
