Is a Trail Permit required when a Land Use Agreement is in place?
Most trails under a land use agreement do not require a trail permit, ALTHOUGH SOME land owners do require a rider to have a trail permit to access their property. An ATVANS trail permit serves as written permission to access these properties. Riding on such a trail without a trail permit is a violation of the OHV Act and subject to a fine as prescribed by the Act.

Do I need a Trail Permit to ride in a Wilderness Protected Area?
Riding any OHV in a Wilderness Protected Area (WPA) is prohibited UNLESS there is a designated trail in place. For ATVs and SxSs an ATVANS trail permit is required to access such a designated trail. ATVANS has a signed agreement with Nova Scotia Dept of Environment to manage such a trail and ATVANS is required to pay for and provide insurance (five million dollar policy) in favour of the Province, against any claims. Without a designated trail agreement in place ATV or SxS access throughout the entire WPA is prohibited.

Is my ATVANS Permit valid in another Province?
Yes, you may ride in New Brunswick and PEI at no charge. Non-members must pay to ride in those provinces.
