Police issue reminder on proper usage of Barrie-Collingwood Rail Trail In Angus
July 2, 2026 · 0 Comments
The Nottawasaga Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind residents and visitors that the Barrie Collingwood Rail Trail (BCRY) is designated for non-motorized recreational use only.
The trail is intended for activities such as walking, running, cycling, and other non-motorized uses, as permitted by posted signage. The use of ATVs, dirt bikes, other off-road motorized vehicles (unless explicitly authorized), and horses is prohibited.
Clear signage is posted at trail access points outlining these restrictions. These rules are in place to ensure the safety, enjoyment, and accessibility of all users. Unauthorized use of motorized vehicles has increased safety risks for pedestrians and cyclists and has caused disturbances for nearby residents.
All trail users are expected to:
- Follow posted signage and regulations
- Keep the trail clean and dispose of litter properly
- Pick up after pets
- Be respectful of other users
The OPP, in partnership with municipalities, will be increasing monitoring and enforcement efforts along the trail. Individuals found in violation of trail restrictions may be subject to fines or charges.
The OPP thanks the public for their cooperation and continued commitment to keeping the BCRY Trail safe for everyone.
