LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The trails in Manitoba are located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji Cree, Assiniboine, Dakota and Dene Peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration. We encourage all trail users to learn more about the land that they are travelling on.
The Belair ATV Club invites you to the wonderful assortment of trails throughout the area. Our region captures a wide array of picturesque trails in the beautiful Belair Forest and access to the outstanding east beaches area and includes endless sandy forest trails and some former rail line corridors. The region is also known for its many world class beaches and Provincial Parks in the area including Victoria Beach, Hillside Beach, Albert Beach, Lester Beach and Grand Beach. Note that ATV’s are not permitted within these provincial parks or Victoria Beach restricted area.
Our club is a non profit organization formed to support and promote the sport in the region and to maintain the trails for all trail users and enthusiasts so they 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 associations mandates is to work closely with other area trail organizations including the Victoria Beach Snow Drifters, our local snowmobile club that dedicates much effort to maintaining area trails and also with municipalities in the region. We are also partners with the Red River North Trail Association (RRNTA) who are stewards for trail development from Selkirk north through the east beaches region. Last but not least, we feel education and promotion of responsible ATV use is paramount to the future of sustainable ATVing in Manitoba and hence we are a member of the All Terrain Vehicle Association of Manitoba (ATVMB).
If you are serious about ATV/UTV riding, we would like to have you visit us in the Belair Forest east beaches region. We have hundreds of kilometers of trails for all levels from beginners to expert. We have an extensive network of accommodations and services including access to hotels, gas, food and ATV sales and service. Our many trail heads are less than an hours ride from Winnipeg and there are several areas to park and launch from. Come on out and have a look around our Belair Forest and Traverse Bay trail system. Our ATV/UTV club promotes responsible ATV riding on private and crown land during the spring, summer and fall. In winter months, our many trails are groomed specifically for snowmobile use and we ask you to please refrain from driving ATV’s or UTV’s on these groomed trails in the winter. Our varied terrain and scenic natural wilderness makes the region ideal for your next trail adventure.
