Questions about travel on the Magnetawan ATV Trails and other trail systems are common in the minds of those planning a trip, and who are not familiar with the East Parry Sound and Magnetawan area. Here is information relating to questions often asked.
Some visitors are astonished at the nature of the trail system and the remoteness of some of our areas. Because of this some have expressed real concern about encountering wildlife along the trail. Though there are some wild animals, they are extremely wary of humans, unless they are protecting their young.
Some species of wildlife are fairly common and encountering these can significantly enhance the experience of our trail rides. Deer and moose are common to the area and can be seen on any part of the trail, particularly at dusk. At times the deer will stand and watch you long enough for you to get your camera out for pictures. Black bear are also sighted in this region but are more wary, so when you spot them it's best to already have the camera ready. To view or photograph these animals, stop your ATV but leave the engine running and remain on the vehicle. Changes in sound or sudden movement will startle the animals. Chasing wildlife is illegal because it stresses them and could lead to their death. Other animals often seen along the trail include beavers, coyotes, ground squirrels, chipmunks and numerous species of songbirds. Above all, do not harass the wildlife. Remember this is their habitat and you are only a visitor.
Skunks, foxes, wolves and fishers are also present in the area. If you encounter one in the middle of the trail, common sense should tell you to stay your distance until it decides to leave or you can find a safe route around. Then you can use the encounter to spice up the description of the trip to the folks back home.
At places our trails pass through private land. Some areas of the Forest are closed or restricted to motorized travel to protect wildlife habitat, watershed conditions or other recreational opportunities. When riding, remember not to trespass on private property and stay on designated trails. Remember that riding on trails on public lands is a privilege that is already being closely scrutinized by environmentalists, politicians and land managers. If you stay on designated trails, 'tread lightly,' carry out any garbage and generally leave the land as you found it, you will help to preserve your right to ride on public landsIn October it is common to have a 20C degree temperature change from morning to night. As a result you should always carry warm clothing even if the weather appears mild at the start of a ride. Preplanning is the key to a successful trip. Once you embark on the trail, you are in a different world with few support services. It is important that you have everything you might need. This includes having enough fuel to get from one filling station to the next. The trail system is so extensive that even though there may be hundreds of people riding the trail at the same time, you may go for hours and even all day without meeting anyone.
The following suggestions are intended to make your ATV ride safe and enjoyable. Your focus on safety should start before you leave home and continue until all the equipment is put away.
All Quadrific events will be led by competent guides who are familiar with the trails to be used and the conditions to be met. There will be enough guides to ensure that everyone takes the right trail at junctions, and to make sure that no one Fall Quadrifics behind the group. For your own safety and peace of mind, and that of the entire group, we require that every rider stay with the group and follow the assigned guides. Those who prefer to travel faster than the group and who decide to strike out on their own are generally the ones who have troubles. All rides are classified as to the difficulty of the trail and necessary rider skill and experience.
We assume that each rider will adequately assess his or her own ability and choose those rides which will not offer challenges beyond his or her experience of ability. Beginning riders who place themselves in an advanced group will become a problem to the entire group. We require that each rider, regardless of age or experience, wear a helmet, gloves, over-the-ankle boots, shatter-resistant eye protection, long pants and a long sleeved shirt or jacket while riding. Eye protection is necessary because branches out over the trail, flying dirt, dust, rocks and insects can get into unprotected eyes. The other safety clothing is for sudden spills that can be caused by ruts, rocks or roots that can throw an ATV off course and into a spill. This is especially true if a rider is traveling too fast for trail conditions or personal ability.
Don't push yourself beyond your limits either in the speed or distance you plan to travel. Exceeding either limit leads to fatigue and loss of control, which can cause accidents. The Trails are meant for leisurely travel, not for speed. Most ATV accidents can be attributed to excessive speed; traveling too fast for conditions.
Accidents may also be caused by excessive dust and limited visibility. You can minimize dust and increase your riding safety and enjoyment if you allow 15 to 30 seconds between yourself and the rider ahead of you. Do not be afraid that the group will leave you.
You should plan to carry plenty of water or other nonalcoholic liquid. You can lose more body fluids than you realize, leading to dehydration and exhaustion. Do not drink water from streams. Giardia, a waterborne disease, is found in all surface waters and can ruin a good vacation.
Do not drink alcohol or use drugs while riding. As with autos, riding an ATV while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can lead to serious accidents involving you and/or other members of your group. Provincial law prohibits the use of drugs or alcohol while operating an ATV or any other motor vehicle.
Please observe the following safety tips, Provincial and Local ATV ordinances:
Thanks for observing our community and Provincial ATV laws and ordinances. Your strict conformance to these laws will help ensure and preserve your right to use ATV’s on public lands in the future and will enhance your safety and enjoyment of Fall Quadrific 2008 activities.
Magnetawan Promotions its sponsors and supporters, have tried to take every possible precaution to assist you in having a safe and enjoyable adventure while you are here. Because of the nature of this particular sport, it must be understood by every participant that there are inherent dangers in riding ATV’s. Quadrific Fall Quadrific 2008 , its sponsors and supporters and public land management agencies cannot be responsible or liable for any accidents or mishaps, or personal or property damage which occurs during events. By registering for the Fall Quadrific , each rider takes upon himself or herself, personal responsibility for his or her own safety and well being and that of others in his or her care.
Riders are required to stay with their groups and follow designated guides. This will help provide for the safety and comfort of all riders. Guides will assist the group in determining and maintaining a safe and comfortable speed and will determine the routes to be followed. We must emphasize that the Quadrifc Fall Quadrific trail and associated side trails, are not built nor intended for speed. They are intended for a more leisurely pace, which lends itself to the nature of the trails and the often rough, terrain. Good judgment and responsible riding, on the part of every rider, must be exercised at all times on the trail. Each rider will be responsible for compliance with the conditions set forth herein, and for the condition and operation of his or her own ATV and related equipment, and of his or her own safety and personal protective gear, and that of those in his or her charge.
Provincial ATV laws indicate that where trails are located on public lands, and have been properly designated as open to ATV use, those involved in land management, and organized, permitted uses on those trails bear no responsibility or liability for accidents which may happen due to trail use or participation in events involving those trails. Again we emphasize personal responsibility for safety and well being on the trail.
Fall Quadrific 2008 personnel have attempted to assign a rating to each event, in order to help riders determine which events will be within the scope of their experience and ability, and to avoid those that may be beyond their abilities. These ratings are not according to any established system, but have been based only on the experience and personal knowledge of the guides. A variety of rides have been selected in an effort to provide events suitable to the abilities and wants of every rider. If riders have any questions or concerns about the difficulty of any event, they should ask the guides or other Fall Quadrific personnel prior to joining with the group. Riders are encouraged to pick the rides and events, which suit their individual experience and riding abilities.
Fall Quadrific 2008 is very environmentally conscientious and insists that all participants be aware of potential environmental related problems. Our policy is to be absolutely "environmentally friendly" by adhering to the following:
