Association executive say thank you to
all those
members who paid their trail fees for 2009. Your fees
helped us to improve our trail to make it better for all.
Everyone is reminded that trail stickers are now available for 2010.
The fee structure remains at $30 for the first ATV and $10 for the
second. ALL
membership fees collected by our association will be spent by our
association to maintain the trails in place as of December 2009.
Please pay Treasurer Thelma or
Lyman and/or Yvonne Keeping. Those of you are not on this list are encouraged to pay your 2009 fees ASAP because your 2010 fees are now due. The amount of fees paid will determine how much excavator time we can pay for this summer. The financial statement for 2009 is available here.

| Our trail system includes more than fifty
kilometers of excavated trail bed, half of which travels the Garnish
River and into the interior of the Burin Peninsula to Long Pond.
The better known section of the trail travels twenty four kilometers
along the coastline of Fortune Bay between Garnish and the resettled
community of Point Rosie. That part of the trail travels gravel
beaches, over headlands, around coves and through some forested areas.
The lookouts along the way provide spectacular scenery. Wildlife
such as bears, moose, caribou, eagles and shorebirds are common sights.
In season, you can fish for trout or salmon, pick berries, swim, and
picnic in isolated, yet easily accessibly scenic spots. You will
find privies, gazebos and picnic tables. You can make the trip
one-way in less than ninety minutes, but first timers along the trail
usually take twice that amount of time, stopping often to marvel
at the sights along the way. Most who make the trip, return to do
it again. At the end of the trail is the cabin community of Point
Rosie. Going on a journey down the trail is an exciting and fun experience, one the whole family will enjoy. Travelling anywhere can sometimes be stressful, specially in the days where we're all hunting for cheap airfare. This is a fun alternative for those who prefer keeping their feet on the ground. Feel free to tackle the trail with a variety of vehicles or simply by foot, and enjoy the scenery and the sense of accomplishment when you finish your journey. The trail is traveled year round by ATVs and by snowmobiles in winter. The trails into the interior are very popular snowmobile trails January through March.
Garnish to Point Rosie - 24 kms
We are part of the Burin Peninsula Trailway. No Need to stop at Point Rosie, any more. You can continue down the Burin Peninsula Trailway on to the Powderhorn Mountain, Boat Harbour and as of 2010, as far as Parker's Cove. See the map below. One way, the trip is 84 kilometers.
