Canada Off Roading Seasons
The peak time for off roading in Canada is during the late spring, summer and early fall seasons. A lot will depend on if you like mud and snow. If you like getting dirty then your seasons are extended. It largely depends on where in Canada too.
Off-Road Riding Areas
Many Canada off roading adventures follow a vast network of gravel roads and spur roads leading deep into the wilderness backcountry. For smaller off-road vehicles like ATVs and dirt bikes there are also designated trail riding areas. However, more than often, gravel roads connect to trails which are accessible to ATVs and dirt bikes only.
Be Aware
Many gravel roads are deactivated forestry and mining roads. However, some gravel roads are still active, so always keep a look out for large logging and mining trucks. Consequently, keep your head up on many of the smaller single track trails, as they are shared trails with hiking, and/or mountain biking enthusiasts.
Prepare for Canada Off Roading
There are plenty of opportunities for self guided off roading in Canada. All riders who embark on a self guided 4x4 trip into the wilderness should be well prepared and experienced in the craft of 4x4ing. All off roaders should have a good map, gps, rain gear, drinking water and common sense. Always tell someone where you are going and when to expect you back. Canada's backcountry is beautiful however it can be dangerous when unprepared.
Canada Off Roading Tours and Guides
Many Canada off road tours provide experienced and knowledgeable guides, reliable equipment, riding lessons and meals. Some even provide wilderness backcountry accommodations. There are also a few off road adventure companies throughout Canada which provide multi day tours with wilderness camping.
