The Town of Oxford is the latest community to allow ATVs on not just some of its roads, but all of them. This seems to be a growing trend across Nova Scotia.
Most communities that allow off-highway vehicles have designated roads that ATVs must stay on. These routes usually connect trails to restaurants, gas stations, accommodations, and other services.
Check to see if your community is on the list! If it isn’t yet, there’s a good chance it could be in the future as ATV travel and tourism continue to grow in popularity.
