Awe-Inspiring Scenic Fall Rides and A Slice of History Around the Montreal River and Elk Lake

A great thing about ATVing around here is that every ride reveals something new: ridge-top views that stretch to the horizon, lakes mirroring fiery fall colours, and quiet boreal forests alive with that crisp autumn air. But these trails don’t just lead through wilderness—they also pass through history. Old mining roads, weathered landmarks, and traces of past towns tell the story of Northern Ontario’s hard-won legacy, and exploring by ATV is a perfect way to see them.

  • Fall scenery: fiery forests, sparkling lakes, sweeping views
  • Historic routes: mining roads, logging trails, pioneer towns
  • Photo stops: stunning lookouts make for great pictures
