OFSC District 6, Snow Country has over 800km of green status trails. Meaning you could stage out of Bancroft and head north along the bottom of Algonquin Park to wind along the border all the way east to Pembroke. From there you could venture west along the Ottawa River to Deux-Riviéres before looping back along the 197 to start the return trip—and all on perfectly groomed and marked trails.
Many regions are not yet ready but it won't be long. Always check trail the conditions before heading out and enjoying what Ontario has to offer!
Best Backcountry in Ontario
One place you can be sure to find lots of powder is Wawa, Ontario. Snow comes early, stays late and is always deep. If you don't want to mess around and just want to get right into some world-class backcountry riding. Get yourself to one of Wawa's backcountry locations.
Keep your eye on the Early Season Priority Trails. These are often abandoned rail lines, utility corridors or old logging roads that are easily accessible and require little snow cover—a great opportunity for the rider who just can't wait any longer.
If conditions are right and you're ready for a real adventure, make plans to ride one or a combination of Ontario's 33 Snow Tours. These are clearly marked and mapped out routes ranging from simple day rides to multi-day saddle bag tours. They get priority when it comes to grooming and have fuel and amazing snowmobile-friendly accommodations strategically located along the way so it's easy to just get out there and explore new places!
