Ontario Highlands
Motorcycling, ATVing and snowmobiling
With thousands of kilometres of interconnected snowmobile trails, adrenaline-pumping all-terrain vehicle (ATV) networks and legendary motorcycle routes, this is a four-season playground for riders.
In winter, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) maintains one of the world’s premier snowmobile trail systems, delivering bucket-list loops, scenic corridors and unforgettable snowmobiling adventures. Guided tours welcome both first-timers and seasoned sledders.
When the snow melts, the ATV trails heat up. ATVs unlock remote boreal forests, rugged Canadian Shield terrain and places you simply can’t reach any other way. Find a guided ride or blaze your own trail across some of the continent’s most exciting terrain.
From spring through fall, motorcycles take to the road. Ride top-rated motorcycle routes on iconic highways, winding backroads and waterfront routes that lead to charming small towns and awe-inspiring landscapes. Come autumn, the province transforms into a rider’s dream with gorgeous fall colour tours.
