Public Advisory: Department Enforcing Snowmobile Regulations

The Department of Natural Resources advises snowmobile users that provincial conservation officers are enforcing regulations under the Motorized Snow Vehicles and All-Terrain Vehicles Act which require snowmobiles to have a valid trail permit.

Conservation officers will issue tickets for violations under the Act, on the 3,700-kilometer trail network licensed to the Newfoundland and Labrador Snowmobile Federation (NLSF).

Users of the groomed trails maintained by the NLSF are required to display a trail use sticker which must be purchased annually for each snowmobile accessing groomed trails. Information on permits and the snowmobile trails licensed to the NLSF is available by calling 709-635-4395 or visiting www.nlsf.org.

The Motorized Snow Vehicles and All-Terrain Vehicle Act can be found at www.assembly.nl.ca/Legislation/sr/statutes/m20.htm
