North West Riding Area

Please note that the following list of trail riding areas in Alberta is provided as a service to off-highway vehicle users by the Alberta Off-Highway Vehicle Association and will be updated as additional information is received.

The use of off-highway vehicles in any of the listed areas requires vehicle registration, valid insurance, head and tail lights and a spark arresting muffler.   An adequate muffler is particularly important if we are to continue to enjoy riding in these areas.

Please forward any comments, more detailed directions, area specific photos or additional riding areas etc. to aohva@shaw.ca or call Rudi Sr. at (780) 432-0858
