Whipsaw Trail The Whipsaw Creek Trail is a 103-km trek that features plenty of obstacles to flex, twist, and get that 4x4 good and dirty. Located in the province of British Columbia—roughly four hours east of Vancouver—Whipsaw is well-renowned as a Jeeper’s paradise.

Considered one of the top 4x4 destinations in Western Canada, Whipsaw is a tough trail even for experienced wheelers. Mid-August is recommended as the best time to visit, but “if you want the adventure of a lifetime, you can run the Whipsaw trail in the middle of winter when the place is covered in snow and the temperatures hovers around freezing. You will have to bring your chainsaw to cut through fallen trees blocking your path. This trail offers some amazing views and challenging terrain, so prep that Jeep, charge up the camera batteries, and clear those media cards. You don’t want to miss any of the action,” explains FOUR WHEELER.

The Province of Quebec Did you know that Québec offers the largest ATV trail network in North America? Yeah, me neither. For decades, ATVs have been a vehicle of choice to easily access the dense forests of Québec and explore its beauty year-round.

“Summers are incredibly popular with off-roaders since the terrain is a combination of rocky, challenging hills with scenic views. Winter months are, of course, better suited for snowmobiles than 4x4s, with the occasional heavy snow the region can receive. A number of trails and circuits are available to choose from, both from the Centre Du Quebec and also the Chaudière Appalaches regions, where loops range from 80-435 km,” according to Offroad.com.

The Chaudiere-Appalache region—located north of Maine and New Hampshire and comprised of cities like Lac-Etchemin, Levis, Montmagny, Saint-Georges, and Thetford Mines—is easily accessible by vehicle or ATV. The region boasts 2,253 km of trails during winter, which are marked and groomed by various clubs. According to locals, the geographic diversity of the region is absolutely unrivalled and a must-visit to see and believe.
