ATV Operators can apply for a special permit so they can access designated routes from their homes. The form is available online at www.cornerbrook.com/atv-permit. Due to the large volume of permit applications early in the season, please allow 5-7 business days for your application to be processed. People with a 2021 Permit can continue to use those for the 2022 season so long as they do not have a new vehicle, need a new route nor have new riders which must be added. If these details must be changed, please proceed through the regular permitting process.

If an ATV operator comes up on a bicycle rider, runner or walker, they must wait until it is safe to pass and then do so with at least one metre of space. If a car comes up on an ATV operator, they must wait until it is safe to do so and then pass with at least one metre of space.
