About the Trail

One of our busiest trail systems, the Opeongo allows you to not only connect between two other large systems, but enjoy the evening or weekend in the hospitality of Barry’s Bay, which is entirely ATV friendly. Trails are predominantly bush, dense at times. Famous lookouts, lakes, and colourful views.

The best things about this trail:

  • this system has an abundance of trails for days of great riding
  • connected by a former railbed, it is easy to get in and out of town, to amenities and connect to new loops
  • some of the best lookouts in the valley
