Yes. Trail fees are set in line with the provincial standard at $25. The fees are used to pay for all aspects of the business including staffing costs, grooming costs and other general business expenses. Keeping these areas open for riding demands a lot of background work and a lot of money. The trail fees are our main source of income and we could not maintain operations without the continued support from you, our ridership. Season passes are also available if you plan to make Blue River your main area.

Please see our informational section here.

Section 58 closures are PERMANENT, YEAR-ROUND closures. At no point may you enter a Section 58 area to snowmobile.
