Attention all riders and residents: Snowmobiles are NOT permitted on the trails at Algoma Highlands Conservancy (AHC) or Stokely Creek Lodge. These areas are private property , with clearly marked No Trespassing signs . Unauthorized snowmobile use is damaging trails, disrupting skiers, and causing environmental harm. This is negatively impacting a Goulais business employing many Goulais residents. Recently, five individuals were caught trespassing near Pickard Rd. and charged by the OPP. They were all from out of town (Sudbury, Elliot Lake area) and received fines. Additional charges may be incurred for damage to private property/trails. Increased Surveillance & Enforcement The OPP has increased patrols in the area and is actively responding to reports of trespassing. More surveillance is in place, including trail cameras and resident monitoring. Anyone caught trespassing can face charges, fines, and potential legal action. How You Can Help 📞 Report any trespassing incidents immediately to the OPP. Call as soon as you see unauthorized snowmobiles on the trails. 📸 Take note of details – identifying sleds can be difficult, but vehicle descriptions (trucks/trailers) and license plates can help. 🚫 Respect private property – these trails are for skiing, hiking, and conservation, not motorized vehicles. Know the Rules AHC’s rules prohibit snowmobiles to protect the landscape and ensure safety. For more details on our trail use policy, visit our policy page . Let’s work together to protect our trails. If you ride, respect the rules. If you see trespassing, report it. 🚔🏔️
