Snowshoeing

 

Description

 

The snowshoeing in the Calabogie area is excellent despite the lack of a network of groomed and marked snowshoe trails. There are literally hundreds of old logging trails for you to explore.

 

How to get there

 

You’ll find these logging trails scattered along a 20 km stretch of County Road #508 beginning 8 km west of  Calabogie. Park at the side of #508. Moments after leaving your vehicle you’ll find yourself in a spectacular winter wonderland as you make your way through the forest, past lakes and up to overlooks where beautiful panoramas will unfold before your eyes. Follow the logging trails or experience the adventure of “bushwhacking”, creating your own path as you wander deep into the rugged countryside. You’ll likely not see another human being during your outing. You’ll be alone with nature and all of its spectacular winter beauty. How far you follow a trail is totally up to you. Your adventure can be as long or as short as you choose.

 

Information

 

Be careful however. Remember, the trails are not marked and because it is isolated you’ll be on your own. You can always retrace your steps but having a map, a compass, even a GPS unit is highly recommended.
