Snowmobiling comes naturally to Ontarians. For about half of the year, we're covered in snow. We don't hide away from the cold, we embrace it. It's become a part of who we are. We've been at this business of winter recreation for so long now that we have over 30,000km of trails and over 200 OFSC snowmobile clubs. With more events taking place in all regions each year, Ontario is becoming an increasingly popular destination to visit in the winter as well as summer.
After a long day riding the loops or trails, you want to be sure you're going to get a solid rest with hosts who know what you need. Below we list the top snowmobile friendly resorts and destinations in each region of the province. If there's a place you know of and think it should be included on the list let us know using the comments feature at the bottom of the page or email ian@thenewbusiness.ca.
