Snowmobiling Guide For Sunset Country

Imagine the magic of stepping out of a secluded cabin into an ancient forest that's just begging you to come make tracks on its clean white floor. Share wide-open spaces with hearty, free-roaming wildlife. Be dazzled by the prisms the sun makes as it plays through ice-laden branches. Ride with the wind or slice through it as nature's wonders and spectacular vistas take your breath away. Trek from one friendly community to the next knowing a warm welcome always awaits you. Criss cross terrain that varies from gently rolling to genuinely challenging. Or simply ride beside a frozen river into the sunset.

The joys of our winter extend way beyond OFSC trails. The ice fishing in Sunset Country is legendary. Walk, ski or sled right onto solid lakes. Drop bait next to a waterfall frozen in suspended animation. Land a trophy size fighter and cook it over your campfire. Or enter it in a fishing derby - they happen all season throughout the region. Bait and tackle are readily available at many accommodations and service stations.

Or if you're looking for a beautiful wilderness experience, strap on your cross-country skis at your door and wend your way through towering forests. Catch a glimpse of deer, fox, moose or behold majestic bald eagles soaring above.

Take a totally different route and try snowshoeing or dogsledding, both are great ways to explore our shores for ancient pictographs. Or cut some fine figure eights on anyone of our many lakes.
