(LITTLE CURRENT, ON) – The Manitoulin Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wants to remind the public to remain respectful of Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) trails that are closed.
On January 26, 2025, at approximately 5:00 p.m., the Manitoulin OPP received a call for a pickup truck that drove onto a closed OFSC-maintained trail, causing significant damage. The vehicle was abandoned on the trail after it became stuck.
The OPP wants to remind the public that the snowmobile trails on Manitoulin Island are currently closed, and using an OFSC trail before it has opened is considered trespassing. Additionally, OFSC trails are for the exclusive use of snowmobiles with a valid trail pass. They are not roadways or trail systems for the use of vehicles or All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). Please check ofsc.on.ca for your local trail status. OFSC volunteers work hard to prepare and maintain the trails for snowmobilers to enjoy. Let’s work together to keep the trails safe this season.
If you have any information about the driver or the truck involved in this incident, please contact 1-888-310-1122.
