The Municipality of West Elgin has been receiving concerns about the use of ATVs in our Municipality.   As the warmer days of spring approach, many ATV owners will be finding the time to get out and explore the many local trails and back-country areas and the Municipality would like to remind the public that ATVs/Dirt bikes are prohibited from all roadways in West Elgin.

However, ATVs are allowed on private property with owner’s permission.  ATV riders are reminded that when riding on property other than their own, you are required to have a valid driver’s license, an ATV license plate and insurance.   Rider’s are also reminded they are required by law to wear a helmet at all times. 

The OPP are recommending that you report any issues directly to them at 1-888-310-1122 (non-emergency number).
