Welcome to Club 4
VTT Club 2000 ATV inc.
The VTT Club 2000 ATV inc. club primarily serves the communities of Dalhousie, Balmoral, Charlo and surrounding areas. The club volunteers manage a number of trails that are in use by the club members year-round.

Our trail system and status
CAUTION
The spring thaw is taking hold, and all trails are extremely soft and difficult to pass in most areas. Many riders have reported getting stuck on the trails. We expect these conditions to continue for a couple of weeks and urge extreme caution. Please stay off the trails completely if you can.
Status of managed trails (quadnb)
Club #4 is responsible for all trails designated with a 400 number. This means Trails 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409 and 410 fall within the responsibility of the club volunteers. We are also responsible for part of Trail #10 (Border Quad Trail) from where it crosses the #280 roadway near Dundee, NB (the boundary with Club 3) to where it intersects with Trail #20 near the Jacquet River Gorge (the boundary with Club 5).
In the winter months many of the trails are used exclusively by the local snowmobile club but we do open and manage several trails for ATVs and Quads from mid-December to mid-April (5 months).
The managed trail status can be found by reviewing the interactive map provided by QuadNB and searching for the 400 series trails around Balmoral.Local Trails to Attractions
Club 4 members use a number of local trails that are not found on the QuadNB interactive map.
This means the trails are not recognized / maintained by the Club and are not covered under the Clubs insurance policy.
These trails have been used for years by local club members to visit attractions that fall outside the managed trails.
However, please use these trails with CAUTION and adhere to any signage from property owners.
Local Trail
Charlo Dam
Located only 1.5 kms off Trail #10 (Border Quad Trail), the Charlo Dam is an historical landmark located in Charlo South and was built to create the Charlo River Reservoir. The reservoir provides the drinking water for the people of Dalhousie and the surrounding area. In 2016, the dam was acquired by the province of NB as part of a 10 year water supply and service agreement with Dalhousie. In 2018, the dam underwent a $3 million infrastructure improvement to restore and repair the bottom area of the dam to ensure its future stability. During the winter months, the dam is a popular spot for locals to observe the amazing ice buildup on the dam wall.

Local Trail
Island Lake Club
Located 60 kms off Trail #10 (Border Quad Trail), the Island Lake Club is situated on the shores of Island Lake - a very popular local year-round attraction.
The Club offers a restaurant and bar, cabin rentals, boat rentals, WIFI in the main lodge and hiking trails around the lake.
The local trail to the club follows snowmobile Trail #22 which is partially through the woods (12 kms), with the remainder using mostly gravel roads so it can be dusty on a dry day. Proper hand signal etiquette should be used at all times, especially on the public roads needed to reach this attraction.
