About

a network of dedicated snowshoe trails containing several loop options from the main chalet parking area explores the intimacy of the forests and glens in winter. Also, a longer trek up to Cec’s Cabin provides the more intrepid backcountry snowshoer with a worthy out and back day trip. Full amenities include a heated chalet, an active safety host program, and shelters and outhouse washrooms throughout the area. When snowshoeing please remember to walk only on marked snowshoes trails. Refrain from snowshoeing on groomed trails except in emergencies or to cross them and avoid walking on the track set. Take care when crossing ski trail, as skiers can be moving fast. Dogs are welcome on the snowshoe trails but please leash them when crossing ski trails.
