Snowmobiling

With reliably good snow conditions and trails that are virtually endless, Nipawin is an important centre for snowmobiling in northeast Saskatchewan. The town is sled-friendly and it even provides a snowmobile bypass route. Once in the surrounding area, riders can trace the trails through boreal forest, over hills and across fields. 

The Twin Lakes Trail Blazers look after more than 200 kilometres of trails right around Nipawin. It can be tricky deciding on the best route to take, especially if this is your first visit. With that in mind, here are the top recommended ride

The Northern Loop snowmobile trail near Nipawin, SK

The Northern Loop via Trail No. 226F and TC 226A features a great mix of open fields and tree-lined trails with three warm-up shelters along the way. A highlight of this ride is the snowmobile crossing over the top of the Francois-Finlay hydro dam.

The Southwest Loop snowmobile trail near Nipawin, SK

The Southwest Loop follows TC 226A from Nipawin to the Village of Aylsham and continues on to meet up with the Pasquia Snow Goers Club Inc.’s trails to Carrot River, Arborfield and Zenon Park. 

The North to Tobin Lake snowmobile trail near Nipawin, SK

With a reasonable dose of caution and attention to ice conditions, a ride across Tobin Lake via Trail 226E is a favourite for its scenery and rolling hills along the North Saskatchewan River. It’s only about half an hour to the lake, making for an easy afternoon ride. 

The snowmobile trail from Nipawin to Hudson Bay, SK

If you want to put on the miles, start in Nipawin and follow the Trans-Canadian Snowmobile Trail southeast to Hudson Bay. At 177 kilometres one way, this ride is a great overnight option.

It might be one of the most unique ways to adventure in Saskatchewan–on 1000 miles of groomed and marked snowmobile trails.

In the northeast of the province, 12 communities (St. Brieux, Melfort, Tisdale, Kelvington, Zenon Park, Aylsham, Nipawin, Carrot River, Arborfield, Porcupine Plain, Weekes and Hudson Bay) have teamed up to promote their “1000 Miles of Snow” to encourage snowmobilers to get outside and enjoy Saskatchewan’s coldest season. It’s a pretty epic way to spend a day, a weekend or even a whole week.

The entire region is linked with groomed trails across fields, through forests and amongst some pretty incredible scenery.

Certain areas of the province are only accessible in wintertime–like Wildcat Hill Provincial Park north of Hudson Bay. The remoteness of this park and the fact that it’s only accessible during Saskatchewan’s colder months is alluring.
