Shared snowmobile-pedestrian trail a recipe for disaster, says group

Posted: Mar 02, 2021 4:00 AM ET | Last Updated: March 2 Some people are calling for changes to the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail, which both snowmobiles and pedestrians are allowed to use.(Madawaska Snowmobile Club) A group of people living in Lanark County are calling for changes to the Ottawa Valley Recreation Trail that would see snowmobiles and all other motorized traffic redirected elsewhere because of excessive speeding. David Frisch, spokesperson for the group Lanark Residents for Safe Trails, said the creation of a recreational trail  where you put passive users and motorized users [side-by-side] is a recipe for disaster. The call for change comes after a collision between a snowmobile and a pedestrian last week on the trail, one that sent the pedestrian to hospital with serious injuries.
