Winter in Almaguin offers the perfect season for snowmobile enthusiasts! My husband is a massive fan, and you can spot him riding his vibrant pink sled with a matching helmet that makes him look like a highlighter – he’s hard to miss!
For those eager to explore the trails, you’re in for a treat with a variety to choose from. Just head over to our interactive map right here (https://ofsc.evtrails.com/#).
To hit the trails, you’ll need to grab a pass, which you can purchase for a couple of days or the entire season – simply click here (https://www.ofsc.on.ca/permits/#permit-types).
