Snowmobilers: Parry Sound welcomes you!
Wintertime is a great time to visit Parry Sound because when the snow flies the snowmobiles get started! The Town of Parry Sound and its surrounding communities in Ontario are home to miles and miles of groomed snowmobiling trails offering scenic trips for any taste. Local snowmobile clubs have joined together to implement a district plan with a goal of snowmobile trail grooming consistency and maximum use of the region's groomers.
And when the snowmobiles are silent, rev up your ATV! Or if you don't have your own, one of our tour outfitters will hook you up for an adventure you'll never forget. Travel trails and paths near secret lakes and through fabulous forests to experience the magnificent scenery of the Canadian Shield.
Come on outside and see what the jewel of the 30,000 islands has to offer!
Snowmobiling in the Parry Sound Area
Parry Sound is renowned for its extensive network of high quality snowmobile and ATV trails. Parry Sound Snowmobile District (PSSD) is the regional snowmobile association that represents the nine local snowmobile clubs in OFSC's District 10. The PSSD trail network offers over 1,000 kms of picturesque, groomed snowmobile trails spanning from the Key River in the north to the Moon River in the south and from the shores of Georgian Bay in the west to the Hwy 11 corridor in the east.
Whether travelling with a group, the family, or just passing through on one of several Trans Ontario Provincial (TOP) trails, the PSSD trail network contains both a mix of looping, or family trails that are accompanied with numerous resorts, restaurants and service facilities conveniently located on the trail system, ensuring that all your snowmobiling needs will be satisfied within Parry Sound Snowmobile District.
Parry Sound Snowmobile District encourages snowmobilers to support their local clubs and "BUY WHERE YOU RIDE."
Snowmobile Trail Enhancements
Members of the Town's Business Retention & Expansion (BR & E) Team have been meeting with representatives from the snowmobile clubs to determine ways in which the Town can become more "snowmobile friendly."
Council recently approved a recommendation from the BR & E Team to permit snowmobiles on the Fitness Trail extension (adjacent to Parry Sound Drive), from the Optimist Centre in to the north end of Town.
Parry Sound Snowmobile District (PSSD) is preparing a signage proposal for the Town's review. This proposal will recommend enhanced signage on the in-town trail and also at junction points leading in to Town.
Approval has been received from the owner of the former Sutcliffe property (across from Economy Fair), for a staging area/lock-up in the front of this property (facing Seguin Street).
The Park-to-Park Trail
The Park-to-Park Trail is a multi-partnered, regional initiative to create an east-west, 200 kilometre year round recreational trail link between the Towns of Parry Sound and Huntsville and Killbear and Algonquin Parks. Permitted uses on the trail segments in and around Parry Sound include snowmobiling, ATVing, riding, hiking, cycling, dirt biking and skiing.
The trail will provide connections to several other communities, provincial parks, trail networks, features, attractions and services in Parry Sound, Muskoka and Haliburton Districts. A 50 kilometre portion of the trip route has also been registered as part of the Trans Canada Trail, a country-wide effort to create the longest recreational trail system in the world!
In Parry Sound, the Park-to-Park Trail will utilize the existing Rotary & Algonquin Regiment Fitness Trail. From the historic Carrington Colonization Road in Seguin Township, the Park-to-Park Trail will pick up the fitness trail at its southern extent and wind its way along the Georgian Bay shoreline along this former CNR/CPR spur line. The trail will then continue on a roadside/sidewalk route as it heads north out of town and into the neighbouring municipality of McDougall.
