Haliburton ATV Association promotes responsible atv use on crown, private and municipal land trails during the spring, summer and fall.
Haliburton's rugged terrain and scenic natural wilderness makes the region ideal for your atv trail adventure.
Haliburton ATV Association believes trails are important economic and environmental resources that have to be sustained to assure our communities economic future and quality of life.
Our club was formed so that ATV enthusiasts can enjoy the beauty of area trails. Equally important are the prospects of ATV trail touring and positioning the recreation sport politically and economically in the community. One of the clubs mandates is to work closely with other area trail organizations including HCSA and other local snowmobile clubs that dedicate much effort to maintining area trails. Last but not least we feel education towards responsible ATV use is paramount to the future of ATVing.
