Trail Rider Clubs in Ontario

Here's the big map with the dirt bike oriented clubs around in Ontario. There's more: dirt bike trails, the off-road calendar, motocross tracks, training or shops. New here? Read this!. Note that we're generally trail riding oriented rather than motocross.

Note that the clubs have all kinds of rules. Some are OFTR members, some aren't. Some are open to any riders and some aren't. Some are stewards of local forests and some have private land use agreements. Some are family trail riding oriented and some are competition oriented etc

Why should you join a club? In many forests, membership is required. In either case, the local club is formed by people with the same interests, at least as far as trail riding goes. Together, they know more places to ride and more things about dirt bikes than you! There's always some organized rides etc.

Which club to join? Probably the one that covers the area where you'll do most riding will give you the most value, special interests aside.

We're listing only "approved" trails where dirt bikes (off-road motorcycles) are permitted, in southern Ontario. There's usually some fees and/or memberships associated with all these. The trails are generally multi-use so you will encounter people on foot, mountain bikes, ATVs, horseback riders. Be nice!

We're also listing the pay-to-play facilities with motocross tracks and/or trails.

If we're missing any interesting entries, please drop an email.

You should double check before heading out - things do change! That's why we include several links to other sites describing the same trail/track.

Good off-road gear is really important, trust me! Here's what you should have, in order of importance:

  • Off-Road DOT helmet - there is some concern about the apropriateness of SNELL helmets, since asphalt is rare in the forest...
  • Off-Road or Motocross boots - preferably with a good seal at the top to keep water and dirt out.
  • Chest protector or body armor of some sort
  • MX gloves - must have some really nice colors
  • handguards / bark busters


Have fun!
