In the early 1990s, off-road riding in Northumberland County grew through strong partnerships and a shared commitment to sustainable trail development. Local dirt bike (ORV) riders worked with the Ganaraska Regional Conservation Authority and other stakeholders to establish a single-track trail system in the Ganaraska Forest that supported both recreation and responsible land use. With the rise of organized trail riding in Ontario, these early efforts helped lay the foundation for the stewardship, collaboration, and long-term trail access that continue to guide NTR today.
