Winter Activity Centre

The Winter Activity Centre is located in the Pippy Park campground. The campground loops are transformed into groomed trails suitable for both classic cross-country and skate skiing, as well as snowshoeing. Trails are lit for evening use.

We offer classic cross-country skis and snowshoe equipment rentals at North Bank Lodge. Weather and snow conditions will affect operations. Please call the Snow Info Line during winter months at 709-737-3651 for the updated hours of operation based on trail conditions.
