Over 1,400 kilometres of mapped trails
The Grand Forks ATV Club, formed in 2008 and incorporated as a non-profit in 2011, rides in the Boundary, BC area on mixed-use rails that take riders through a variety of ecosystems and wildlife habitat – from grasslands to Apline meadows.
In partnership with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the Grand Forks ATV Club has created a trail network of over 1,400 km of mapped trails from Greenwood east to Castlegar and Grand Forks north to Edgewood. (source: https://boundarybc.com/play/atv-trails/ )
