ATTENTION: Please be aware that there is a bridge out on the Marine Riders' 501 trail. This bridge is known as the Roger Mailman Bridge, or the Jeep Bridge. There is no way around this area. Please avoid this area until we are able to replace this bridge.

The Richmond County Rail Trail is under construction from Grande Anse to River Tillard, but is completely closed from Grande Anse to Thibeauville/Back Route Road.  We would ask that people stay off that section due to safety reasons surrounding the complete reshaping of the trail and water management strategies like trenches through the center of the trail.

The Small Grant Budget has been allocated for 2019. Hat's off to the Clubs and their hard work, well done!

Each year ATVANS manages the ATVANS Small Project grant program. This year $100,000 has been set aside for small local projects. Clubs can apply for up to $5000 per project with matching funds or in-kind labour. This program is administered by Corey Robar (trails coordinator) and has oversight from the ATVANS trails committee.

Clubs should contact Corey prior to starting any work to see if their project is eligible. This program is an important tool for building and maintaining our trail network. For more details contact Corey Robar at trails@atvans.org.  All unused funds are not carried forward.

All Members:

Trail is OPEN again after the repairs and upgrades were completed, see attached map.

This past weekend members of the Marine Riders ATV Club volunteered their time to help out the Nova Scotia Equestrian Federation at their 13th Annual Trail Ride and Drive. This year it was held at the Dollar Lake Provincial Park in Wyses Corner.

The Marine Riders helped ferry supplies around the park on their ATVs and Side by Sides, managed parking for all the attendees and their trailers as well as patrolled the park and gave assistance where needed. This was a unique opportunity to ride alongside our 4 hooved friends and see the sites at the beautiful Dollar Lake Provincial Park.

Many thanks go out to Suzanne Killen (and the rest of her team) at NSEF for putting together such a wonderful event and inviting the Marine Riders along once again. The Marine Riders look forward to being a part of this event again next year.

Trails are currently closed due to trail repairs and upgrades, see attached maps.

Users are advised not to use the trails until the closure is lifted, the club is doing repairs and upgrades which will require time to dry out and firm up before it can be used.

Notifications will be sent out when the trails are reopened.
