- 86PXRXWW+3WM - Feb 6th update! We’ve had 60 cm (24 in) of fresh snow over this past 2 week
Snowshoeing requires little to no experience. The only requirement is snowshoes, warm clothing/footwear, everything else mother nature provides. We will meet at the parking lot Activity Centre by the log cabin. Parking pass costs are as follows: $5.25 2 hrs. $7.50 4 hrs. $15.50 day pass. Book a group of 10 and I will pay for 2 vehicles, 4 hour passes, valued at $15. We will go over the rough outline of the trail starting at the trial head, through the bush and over the bluff overlooking beautiful Georgian Bay. The view of Beckwith Island and Giants Tomb to the West of the Bluff is spectacular. We’ll head down to the beach and stop and enjoy a hot drink before heading back to the log cabin to warm up by the wood stove. Note: All dates are weather dependent. Book soon to secure your spot, space is limited due to safety.
Note: Dress (in layers) appropriate for the weather, conditions can change rapidly being close to the water.
For Moon lit events bring a head lamp or flashlight. Bring extra mitts, toque and socks for the changing conditions.

Practicing snowshoeing doesn’t require any previous experience. You just need snowshoes, and warm clothing and boots; everything else is provided by the great outdoors. We’ll provide a brief rundown of the route, starting from the trailhead, moving through the wilderness and ascending the cliff with a splendid view of the majestic Georgian Bay. The sight of Beckwith Island and Giants Tomb in the North/West direction from the cliff is truly breathtaking. Our journey will then take us down to the beach where we’ll enjoy a warm beverage before returning to the log cabin to get comfortable by the wood-burning stove. Depending on the atmospheric conditions and the group’s willingness, we might venture through the wilderness down to Kettles Lake.
