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.

Ice Storm Cleanup E108/Future Trail Clearing Days
A large group of 9 BDSC volunteers were out on Saturday and they were able to clear almost 4kms of the E108 trail!! The E108 is now cleared to the 509 intersection!! Many leaners were dealt with along with clearing and cutting debris to make the trail wider to accommodate the groomer.
Big thank you to Jim S, Scott G, Mark J, Scott B, John, Mark L, Perry, Gord and Dan!! 👊💪
It was great to have 2 new and 2 past volunteers come out!!! All of us at the BDSC appreciate the new and extra volunteers as it's been a long, tough 6+ months for our regulars. It gave us a much needed shot in the arm as we are slowly wearing out.👍
We've now put in over 1200 man hours into clearing the ice storm damage!!😲
We still have many kms to clear but there is less damage the further north we go so it should go much faster!
BDSC will be going out on Thursday and Saturday this week. ATV will be required.

As the BDSC World Turns: Ice Storm Cleanup Edition
🌲Saturday
Three volunteers went out on a "recon" mission to check on the northern trails to determine if heavy equipment is required for storm cleanup. The following trails were inspected:
E108 from the 509 to the 506N(Paudash Junction)
506 south from the Paudash Junction to the water crossing(approx 7kms)
509 north from the E108(approx 5kms)
Much to our surprise, the trails were in, relatively, pretty good shape!! Still some work to do but much less than our southern trails. The further north we went, the less the ice damage so no heavy equipment will be needed. We assumed the 509 will get better so we stopped after 5 kms.
Thank you to Gord, Kevin and Dan!
🌲Monday
502 Trail
Great turnout!! We had 9 volunteers come out and we needed them! Many trees were down on the trails throughout the private properties along with the debris cleanup along CR507. We cleared about 3 kms from the E211 and south.
Thank you to Kyle, Bill, Don, Bruce, Perry, Jim, Gord, Mark, Jim and Dan!
🌲Tues
E108 Trail
Five volunteers were able to clear the trail from Picard Lake up to the old 508 intersection. Another 3+kms done!! Thank you to Kyle, Don, Mark, Gord and Dan!!
🌲Wed
502 Trail
Five volunteers were out yesterday and were able to finish clearing the trail from Flynn's Store up to where we stopped on Monday! The 502 is now clear from Flynn's to the E211! We still have 5kms to clear from Flynn's to the 501. Thank you to Mark, Don, John, Gord and Dan!
We will be going out on Saturday to continue work on the E108.
