Snowshoeing
Northumberland County Forest offers multiple locations for snowshoeing. The best places to snowshoe are on the Woodland Trails and the Oak Ridges Trail.
The Single Track Trails, located east of Beagle Club Road, are also available for snowshoeing but are more difficult. Please note the trails at Beagle Club Trailhead (west of Beagle Club Road) are open for cross-country skiing only from December 1 to March 31.
