Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing

Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are great ways to explore the park and the possibilities are endless. When snowshoeing, please preserve the trail by staying beside ski tracks, not on them. 

Here are a few of our recommended trails for winter activities:

  • Dunphy's Pond: This 10km (return) trail takes you to the mouth of the park's largest pond. Ice fishing is available here (by permit only).
  • Louil Hill Trail: A 4km (loop) trail through a fir forest.
  • Blue Hill Lookout: A 4km (return) steady climb to the park's highest peak.
  • Ochre Hill Lookout: A 6km (return) steady climb with a panoramic view of the park at the end.
