Snowmobile Closures

Under the Mountain Caribou Recovery Implementation Plan, scientists recommended over one million hectares across the mountain caribou range be closed to motorized winter recreation to facilitate recovery of caribou populations.

Since 2009, government has closed areas to snowmobile use across the Mountain Caribou range in order to support population recovery. The closed areas have been amended with BC Reg 74/2011 effective April 27, 2011. If you would like to download closures areas to gps click here.
