Lanark County - Temporary Closure of OVRT to Motorized Vehicles

Spring will be upon us in just a few short days and with this comes warmer temperatures, melting snow, rain and mud!!

As a result, effective immediately (Tuesday, March 16, 2021), the OVRT (Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail) is closed to motorized vehicles until early April to allow for the trail to dry out. Your patience is appreciated!

In accordance with the OVRT Trail Management Plan, this is an annual occurrence and as per the By-Law, no ATV’s are permitted on the trail prior to April 1^st (or later depending on the weather and trail conditions).
