Snowmobilers reminded to include safety as part of the ride

It might be ideal conditions but police are urging you not to leave safety at home when you head out snowmobiling.

Seven people have died in snowmobile incidents in OPP jurisdictions since the beginning of the 2025/26 riding season with 15 such fatalities last season.

Snowmobilers are being encouraged to stick to available Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Club trails as they are the safest riding terrain.

You can go to the OFSC’s convenient Interactive Trail Map to check trail status and plan your next outdoor adventure.

The OPP reminds snowmobilers that travelling on frozen waterways comes with no guarantee that the ice is completely safe.

The safest bet is to avoid frozen waterways altogether.
