RUSAGONIS ATV CLUB
2019 ISSUE #3
Rusagonis
ATV Club
LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES SOUTH OF FREDERICTON
693 MEMBERS FOR 2019
WE HAVE OVER 200 kms of managed
multi-use ATV trails in the spring, summer,
and fall with another 75 km+ of trails under
development scheduled to open in 2020.
We are the only winter grooming club in the
Greater Fredericton area.
In the winter, we have about 100 km of
groomed ATV trails open for all to enjoy.
Some of our trails are joint use with the local
snowmobile club, but they are all well signed.
Mother Nature plays a big part in the amount
of trail we have open in the winter, along
with the logging companies who sometimes
plough the logging roads we have permission
to use. The best time to ride the groomed
trails is when the sun goes down or cold days
below -10. Warm, sunny winter days are a
challenge unless you have tracks on your
ATV or SxS!
All our trails are maintained by volunteers
and groomed in the winter using a Kawasaki
Teryx4 on tracks. And soon a new 2019 Teryx
will be out there working and grooming the
trails as well!
We have a warming hut on our Provincial
trail (#10) that is open year-round for all to
enjoy. We also have two rest areas.
The Rooth rest area is located on trail # 4565,
and the Porcupine rest area is located on
trail #4573. Both have bonfire pits and picnic
tables and are a great place to take a break.
Our main trailhead is located at the
Rusagonis Recreation Centre and is open
year-round. We have a second trailhead
across from the Lincoln Blue Canoe on
Chaparral Road that is open spring, summer,
and fall. In 2020, we hope to open two new
trailheads, one in Oromocto and one in
Harvey.
We have a very active club with six
organized club events per year: two winter
rallies, a spring mud rally, and two fall
rallies. We also participate in the Oromocto
Canada Day Parade and have a very active
