Trail Permits

To legally access available recreational OFSC Prescribed Snowmobile Trails, Ontario law requires snowmobilers are required to purchase an Ontario Snowmobile Trail Permit. Full Seasonal Permits are available and valid for the duration of the winter from date of purchase.

For shorter term access to recreational OFSC Prescribed Snowmobile Trails, Multi Day Permits are also available for a minimum of 2 consecutive days and valid only for the dates selected, with the option to upgrade to a full season permit at any time during the winter.
