Following what’s been called the best winter for snowmobiling in over a decade, the season is coming to a close.

On Tuesday, Ontario Provincial Police announced the official closure of snowmobile trails across Dufferin County.

“Please respect the landowners and stay off the trails until they reopen next season,” OPP stated in the release. “We want to thank the Dufferin Drift Busters, Orangeville Snowmobile Club, and Hillsburgh Snow Roamers for their hard work in maintaining the trails and providing an excellent experience for riders this winter.”

Additionally, police say the rail line trail is closed. It is scheduled to reopen for ATV use on May 1, weather permitting.

“There is still a large amount of snow on the rail line, so we will need to wait for it to melt before the trail can be safely opened,” police stated.
