Friday May 1 , 2026. Opening Day let’s ride!

Thank you for your patience and for respecting the Spring trail closure.  The day we have all been waiting and working towards is here!  Most Simcoe County trails open Friday May 1 please check the RideOFTR app for green  / open trails .

Before you head out to the trails a couple reminders

All riders must:
- Have a valid OFTR membership with you while on the trail.

- Know where you are riding, don’t trespass and stay on designated trails.  The RideOFTR app will keep you on the approved trails. https://oftr.ca/rideoftr-instructions-trail-map/
- Respect and expect other trail users.
- Abide by our Code of Conduct. https://scorra.ca/code-of-conduct/
All motorcycles must be:
- Licensed with plates properly mounted to vehicle (Green off-road plate on front, or Blue street plate on rear).
Insured.
- Quiet (94 db or less). Don’t annoy our neighbors, and risk losing access to trails.

https://scorra.ca/requirements/

Please use extra caution on the trails, since they could be blocked by debris and deadfall accumulated over the winter.  Be prepared to stop at a moment’s notice and consider packing a small hand saw, and whenever possible, stop to clear any debris as you go.  Also remember that you’re likely out of practice so leave an extra margin for safety as you ease back into riding.

If you come across any trail issues, please notify us by PM’ing here or email [email protected]
Enjoy the trails, ride cautiously and be safe during the 2026 riding season!
