TRAILS CLOSED FOR 2024 HUNTING PERIOD

The end of summer marks the return of hunting. Most trails in wildlife reserves, Zecs and neighbouring clubs close for this popular hunting season. It’s important to stay off the trails during this time, not only for your own safety, but also to maintain rights of way in the reserves and Zecs with which we have agreements.

Here are the dates on which quad trails will be closed during the hunting season in Zecs and Wildlife Reserves across Quebec. However, it is advisable to check with the clubs you plan to visit before planning a trip, as information on trail closures may not have been communicated to us.

Please check this table regularly, as dates may change as information becomes available.
