onAttention ATV Operators of BBR&GC
The Multi use trails are once again open for ATV use, however the trail that follows along Dieppe Road
down from the MP Station and past gate 19, please refrain from riding on the grass trail and stay up along
the shoulder of the road.This part of the trail is still wet and we do not want to damage it.Your cooperation
is greatly appreciated by all on this matter. Just a reminder to all while riding your ATV on Base trails, the
speed limit is MAX 30 km, as we do share the trails with runners and people out enjoying the trail system.
Also the trail that crosses Dieppe Road and the hill that passes by theCougarMonument Vehicle is off-
limits.This is signed and closed because of erosion concerns please follow the marked trails.
