North Western Ontario is a hidden jewel in the north when it comes to snowmobiling and trail riding. Easily accessible, only two hours from Winnipeg, five hours from Minneapolis and starts at Thunder Bay, we offer over 1000 km of groomed trails. North Western Ontario’s NWOSTA trail system offers top level riding experiences for riders of any skill level. There are long stretches of lake trails next to hidden bays full of powder that has never seen a sled. For the nature seekers, there are kilometers of trails winding through the bush where you may see a bald eagle, timber wolf, deer, bobcat or other wildlife. Snowmobilers can ride for several days and complete a 1000 kilometer circle trip. With the low population density you may ride all day and hardly see another sled. The groomed and marked trails connect communities such as Fort Frances, Atikokan, Ignace, Sioux Lookout, Red Lake, Dryden, Kenora, Sioux Narrows, Nestor Falls, Rainy River and Emo and Thunder Bay. Most communities offer food, fuel and accommodations accessible by snowmobile. There are also several “must see” things along the NWOSTA circle tour, such as the White Otter castle near Atikokan, the scenic lookout over the lake beside Sioux Lookout, thrill hills on the pipeline near Kenora, and various rapids and water falls along the trail near Sioux Narrows.
