| Description: |
Snowshoeing is a great winter activity for the whole family. There are 55 kilometers of dedicated snowshoeing trails in Gatineau Park, including two beginners' trails accessible right from the Visitor's Centre. Access to all the snowshoeing trails is free, as is parking.
The Baxter Conservation Area, just south of Ottawa, is a great location for snowshoeing and is described in this article in Ottawa Outdoors Magazine. There is a $6/vehicle gate fee at the Baxter Conservation Area. Several area snowshoeing trails are described on the Ontario Trails Council website. To find the location of a trail, click on the trail name, then click on "GPS", found under the Location heading on the right-hand side of the page. |
