Where you can drive a snowmobile depends on your age and the licence you hold. LICENSING & DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS Drivers must carry the following documents with them at all times: your driver's licence, a valid motorized snow vehicle operator's licence (MSVOL) or a snowmobile driver's licence from another jurisdiction; snowmobile registration permit; and insurance card. If you don't have a driver's licence and you're 12 years of age or older, a valid MSVOL will allow you to drive a snowmobile on trails. Contact your local snowmobile club to get more information about the MSVOL program or visit the The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs - OFSC website at https://www.ofsc.on.ca/. Failing to produce any of these documents to a police officer or conservation officer when asked could result in a fine of up to $1,000.
