Discover Drummond Island’s rugged beauty from the seat of a side-by-side. Beavers on Drummond Island rents 2- and 4-seat UTVs for six-hour outings that put riders onto the island’s trail network for a sustained off-road loop meant for ages 8 and up (with drivers 18+).

Outing Highlights
Enduring Trail Time
A six-hour rental gives you time to push farther onto the island’s trail network, trading short bursts of riding for a sustained off-road experience through varied terrain.
Two- and Four-Seater Side-by-Sides
Choose compact Pioneer 500 two-seaters built for narrow trails, or 4-seat options such as the Honda Pioneer 700 or Kawasaki Mule; both types note that rear or passenger seating can feel compact for larger riders.
Safety Rules Shape the Ride
State ORV rules and operator policies govern every outing: drivers must be 18+ to rent or drive, riders must meet minimum age/height requirements, and seat belts/helmets and eye protection are required while underway.
What the day feels like
What a Six-Hour UTV Day Feels Like
The day moves from check-in and a brief orientation to several hours of continuous riding on off-road trails, allowing time to explore narrow singletrack suited to compact machines as well as wider sections that accommodate four-seat side-by-sides. Expect an active, hands-on outing focused on terrain and machine control rather than short sightseeing stops.
