Dads can get so wrapped up in being husbands and fathers that they sometimes forget to take a break and do something for themselves. An opportunity to get away for a weekend doesn’t come up in their busy lives very often, so Father's Day is the perfect time of year to force that busy, hardworking Father/Husband to take a break and have some well-deserved fun!
Lucky for us, Ontario is home to some pretty amazing ATVing and there are a bunch of guided ATV Tours that will not only take you out on the trails for a first-hand experience, they can rent you the ATV and show you how to ride it! If you’ve got one of those “hard-to-shop-for” dads, this a great gift idea!
ATVs are specifically designed to tackle (as their name states) all different types of terrain. The option to ride in two-wheel or four-wheel drive means that you can go from smooth, easy trail rides to off-road adventures with the flick of a switch or button. Ready to take on mud, rocks, sand dunes, creeks, rivers and ponds, ATVs are the perfect way to experience the breathtaking scenery of Ontario and have an awesome off-road adventure!
An ATV trip away is the perfect opportunity for some well-deserved stress relief and muddy fun! Why not get ahold of your husband/father's best friends, wives or daughters and plan a Father's Weekend Away? Sounds like the perfect Father's Day gift for my dad and his friends! Consider a family trip as well; the diverse trail systems mean mixed groups of beginners, all the way to experienced riders, can enjoy different trails at their own levels all in the same area!
