New regulations have been approved to allow recreational snowmobilers to enjoy designated trails on Crown land.
The Department of Natural Resources has mandated the Snowmobilers Association of Nova Scotia (SANS) to sell permits to ride on designated snow vehicle trails throughout the province. All designated trails will be signed with official signs.

In order to legally use a designated trail, snowmobilers must purchase a Trail Permit from SANS to affix to their snow vehicles.
