Our 2001 Vision Mission statement is still relevant today.
The Grand Forks ATV Club is a registered not for profit organization. We are active in preserving the Region`s history, environment, and wildlife habitat, protecting our rights and privileges to access all trails. Promoting safe and responsible operation of ATVs, planning events and rides. Organizing meetings for every ATV enthusiast to attend. The Club is dedicated to promoting the safe use of marked trails by all users including youth, seniors, and near-seniors.
Maintenance on trails and recreation sites
We have made progress this year on the following,
Franklin Trail Work has been started on danger tree removal, and a excavator has been hired to work on the trail. There has been a GFATV work crew clear debris from the trail, establish the first location of a kiosk,
Trails of the North Fork, Trails of the Paulson have all been finalized and are very popular. The Map Book is at Alpine being printed.
The trail from Edgewood to Christian Valley is now in the hands of RSTBC. We have reached out to them for an update and been advised they will be working on this file this fall.
Importance of our trails
Our trails are great and we have made great progress in the trail system, but trails are still being closed with no input from GFATV. We are hopping to work with ATVBC new land coordinator to improve this.
Please if you are out on the trail be a good representative for motorized your riding area depends on it.
