Last updated on January 15, 2025

The B.C. government has closed areas to snowmobile use across the Mountain Caribou range in order to support population recovery.

The maps below show the areas closed to snowmobiling under the Wildlife Act. Maps are georeferenced PDFs so they can be used in mobile applications to determine your location relative to boundaries, open riding areas and trails.
