Ban to remain n effect until further notice
A complete ban on recreational ATV/UTV use is now in effect within Lac Ste. Anne County due to the EXTREME fire risk. This Ban will remain in effect until further notice.
Extreme Fire Hazard Rating for Lac Ste. Anne County
Due to low precipitation, high winds, and warm temperatures, the fine fuel load – grass and light leafy vegetation, in all regions of the County is at an extreme risk for ignition from ATV and UTV exhaust systems. Tall grass, crop residue, etc., along trail systems and wildland areas often can ignite from direct exhaust and/or direct contact with exhaust and sparks from mufflers and piping from these vehicle types readily at this time of year.
Please note: required agricultural and industrial operator ATV/UTV use is exempt from this Ban; however, extreme caution and continuous monitoring are advised.
