Lol Ok, it’s a petition to get the GRCA rail line back. We had it for 20yrs, but haven’t had for the last 2 years now.

I rode my bicycle to here this summer.  It is a nice trail.

We all need to support this, as it is a very nice rail line and accessible right on the edge of town with parking right at the trail head.

Can you please supply a link to the petition so that we can support it? TIA

Yes, we all need to support this. When the GRCA denied access, the club was forced to reroute the trail to the nearest bridge over the river as the rail allowed riders to cross at the dam. This trail is currently a tough scratch through ditches and a 1/4 mile of pavement. I imagine the club gets steady complaints from the property owners along this stretch as riders search out snow on yards and cross driveways to avoid the long road run.

 

 

Link is in the first post.

Could someone explain what happened in 2019 to cause the closure of the trail to snowmobilers?

Believe it was an insurance issue.

 

IIRC.

The GRCA wanted the OFSC to assume all risks to all parties that used that trail, not just sleds. I believe it's a multi-use trail so there are many users on it. 

Believe there were issues with the GRCA up around Luther Marsh(between Grand Valley and Arthur) as well.

 

 

 

Nice trail. Been through there numerous times when I lived in the Grand Valley area. Good luck!!

 

Petition signed.

Theres quite a few people spreading it around, it’ll just multiply. Even if there’s a ton of signatures, there’s still no guarantee we’ll get it back.

We had a cottage on Conestoga Lake for many years.. some of my best snowmobiling memories are from those days.. back when winters where winter.
