]]> This paper discusses current trends and economic benefit studies as they relate to the recreational use of ATVs. In particular, a focus has been placed on future trends and impacts as they relate to the province of Ontario, County of Haliburton and the Municipality of Dysart et al. The purpose of the study is to provide information on the trends and economic benefits of ATVing for the purpose of informing municipal policy decisions on recreational activities and trail use.



This paper is a literature review of current information related to ATVing trends and economic impacts, but does not constitute a full study on the actual economic impact as it directly relates to the municipality of Dysart. Particular emphasis is placed in predictions for future use and related policy. Studies have been reviewed that identify and examine economic impacts in other areas; including managed ORV trail systems. Conclusions have been provided for future research opportunities.
