Frisby Ridge

Frisby Ridge is another popular riding area.

Frisby is a scenic north-south ridge ride.

A few simple rules...

  • Respect the animals and their habitat, do not approach them or follow tracks. If you come upon animals, try to go around at a safe distance or shut your machine down until they leave the area.
     
  • Stay out of restricted areas and use only the trails marked in the open areas. This allows the animals to avoid or adapt to the use areas and the travel corridor. The club had worked hard to keep this mountain open and depends upon your cooperation for it to remain open for snowmobiling.
     
  • The trap line trail through the Fire Pit area is for use only by the registered trapper who owns the line. Do not follow any tracks into this area.

All snowmobilers must comply with the recommended guidelines if this program is to continue to be successful and the areas to remain open.
