windsurfnut Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 One of the smartest decisions they've made. Agree or disagree with the politics, the information has been provided and easy to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 No law against crossing one, but rest assured, it will be the reason given when they shut it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the trespass laws? If you were caught riding on the closed section of trails crossing from one unit to another, wouldn't that be trespassing? Is there any signage at these "red" zones?

brodhagenbullet Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I have not seen any signs at 4 or 5 of these spots(mid D9) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToSlow Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Wonder how that's going to hold up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signfan Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Signage is up north of Bancroft in the Maple Leaf trail system. Trespassing charge will hold up if the trail crosses private land. Where it's crown it'd be more of a debate. I'd be more afraid of the police charging you under the emergency order. Like it or not OFSC has made some sacrifices to keep the broader trail system open this winter with these closures. So far with the exception of North Bay it's worked. Hopefully we go back to a regional covid approach soon in which case many of these lines will be open and groomed across. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't know when they hit one,unless you use one of them fancy GPS screens.Just cruise aroung aimlessly and all be ok,maybe not north side of Lucknow!

Blackstar Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 These trails that "bridge" PHU's should have been a different colour on the map so that there can be a differentiation between real closed trails and Covid closed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our farm has the trail at the health unit change. I will make sure no one gets charged for trespassing. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I am thinking there's not going to be any trespassing charges. Especially for the short ones that are closed. I know some of them are groomed, and are being rode regularly. I witnessed one groomed right thru last time out riding. OFSC had to do something to show health boundaries, this is it. If you look close enough, why does some trails have closed spots, and some others that both intersect health regions. Too much to discuss and understand for me. Im out riding tomorrow..

You've got to think the OPP have better things to do than patrol 1 km sections of needlessly closed trail but it will take the weekend to tell. Easy cash if they do though.

Full suit on, helmet on, paying for fuel at THE pumps. Maybe the wildlife on the trail will catch it from us riding by, i dunno. ....BTW, north doesn't even start until at least NB. Your not even out of central Ontario... Edited January 29, 2021 by Turbo Doo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much to discuss and understand for me. Im out riding tomorrow.. I agree as well & think you are correct. I just posted a video of Kawagama TV on Winter 2021 thread that mentions trail d101B being closed & why (due to health regions), but this trail is groomed and being ran, not 100% sure if the entire section is, but I saw both ends of this trail for this Red section, and it is groomed and sled tracks.....I ran the lake bypass. 12 hours ago, Blackstar said: You've got to think the OPP have better things to do than patrol 1 km sections of needlessly closed trail but it will take the weekend to tell.
