How Can You Help?

When you use these trails we would appreciate some feedback on these trails.  This information can be useful to the MHC when we are in discussion with Parks and/or when we are looking at how we can support improvements to the trail and camping areas that equestrian groups wish to make.  Your feedback counts!

Provincial Park Fees

Park Vehicle Permits must be displayed year-round in provincial parks. Hard copies of permits are not now sold; only electronic purchase is possible. The permit is now linked to a vehicle registration number, but one permit can be used by two vehicles.
