ATV etiquette and safety

Before heading off on your guided tour in one of the many special corners of Ontario, consider some thoughts on safety and etiquette:

• Along with copious safety precautions required while operating an ATV, proper etiquette and decorum are also necessary. 
• Be mindful of private property and never use excessive speed on nature trails while considering possible damage to the terrain.
• Avoid sensitive wetlands, minimize tree and shrub cutting and avoid discarding waste along the trails.
