Snowmobiling in Ontario: A speedy winter sport

The winter months are a great time to explore Ontario, as when the snow falls and the lakes freeze over, you can venture to parts of the province normally only accessible by air or water. By far the quickest and most exhilarating way to experience the boundless scenery Ontario has to offer is by snowmobile. Don your snow suit, helmet, and gloves and sled down one of the many groomed trails that snake their way across this stunning, vast landscape.

Ontario has the world's largest recreational snowmobile trail system, with over 34,000km of interconnected and uncongested routes. Some trails are so wide that they're referred to as 'snow highways'. And with 400,000 lakes, rivers and streams to explore, as well as rolling hills, dense forests, and a diverse flora and fauna, its no wonder that in winter Ontario becomes a playground for the adventerous.

Dotted with numerous small cities and towns, Northern Ontario is a friendly and safe place to bring your family for the ultimate snowmobiling holiday. Hundreds of inland lakes for ice-fishing, countless camps, cottages, and resorts in this part of the province make it an appealing destination for all levels of snow enthusiasts - particularly in the North of Superior area where winter comes early, and stays late. If scenery is what you're after, nothing can compete with the glittering ice-caves that adorn the coastlines of the Great Lakes. New formations of caves form every winter, and waterfalls and cascades freeze over, providing a stunning backdrop to each snowmobile season - and help provide for other sports, such as ice-climbing.

Base camps and training facilities can be found in all major cities across Ontario during the winter months. Whether you're a total novice or a die-hard champion, there's no doubt you'll love spending a day or two gliding through majestic forests, across stake-marked frozen lakes and old logging spots to some of the most serene, scenic spots you'll ever see. If you're lucky you'll see Aboriginal pictographs, or spot a deer or wolf in a clearing. Team up with some fellow riders and embark on a week-long snowmobile odyssey for the ultimate winter adventure.
