The Buckhorn District Snowmobile Club is based in Buckhorn, Ontario, about 25 minutes north of the City of Peterborough. We are a member club of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs, and are one of seven clubs making up OFSC District 2.
BDSC volunteers and grooming staff maintain approximately 165 kilometres of trails through varying terrain, from the east shore of Chemong Lake in the south, to the Gooderham area in the north.
The bulk of our trails are in the Municpality of Trent Lakes, in an area of beautiful Canadian Shield forest once known as The Five Points Trail System – a throwback to the earliest days of organized snowmobiling.
To the west, our trails join those of the Twin Mountains Snowmobile Club in the Bobcaygeon area. On the east side of our system our trails connect with those of the Paudash Trail Blazers and the Stoney Lake Snoriders, leading to the Wilberforce and Apsley areas.
506 Update
Some of the BDSC board members went out last week to inspect the 506 north of Parking Lot 2. Thank you to Rick, Perry, Don, Mark, Gord and Dan! 👊
We haven't been on this trail since the March 2025 ice storm and we wanted to see how much work needed to be done.
Overall, the trail was in "relatively" decent shape as other people have removed many of the fallen trees.👍
We managed to get about 5kms in and decided to turn around at the second water crossing and proceeded to cut back and clear much of the trail on the return trip. We also moved some big rocks out of the way and opened/drained a number of water holes. There are still many more kms to clear to get to the E108.
Unfortunately the beaver dam at Pencil Creek has let loose and washed out our snow bridge. It will need to be addressed in the future.

Please take the time to fill out the OFSC survey. The results provides good stats and facts for the clubs, districts and the OFSC, which, in turn, benefits us all. Cheers👍

❄️Volunteer Lunch at BCC❄️
BDSC would like to thank Judy McWirter and the Buckhorn Community Centre(BCC) for hosting the volunteer lunch this past Thursday and thank you to the BCC volunteers who made the soup and sandwiches!!
All the local volunteer associations who attended, had the opportunity to talk about their organizations and their needs.👍
We met some great people and received some good suggestions and insight!
BDSC always welcomes new volunteers with open arms!!
We are an awesome group of people who have a great time giving back to our community!
While we will always appreciate having extra hands to do actual trail maintenance, we would very much love to add people who have a fundraising passion/background and/or experience dealing with the MNR/OnGov application processes to obtain permits for bridges, trail improvements, etc..
Become one of our 'behind the scenes" heroes!!
If you can help us in any way, please come out to a monthly meeting or send us a message!👍
