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.
❄️E108 Trail Clearing Opportunity❄️
Fri October 9 @0930
Pencil Lake Road Parking Area

The plan is to clear the E108 from the 506(Paudash Junction) east to the "long pond".
BDSC has taken over these 5 kms from the Paudash club as the "long pond" causes headaches for the groomer operators. It will now be the turnaround area for both clubs. We need to give it a thorough brushing, open water holes and check signage.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
ATV is required.

506 Update
The BDSC trail crew were out for 7 hours on Friday and cleared the final 4 kms of the 506 from Parking Lot 2(P2) up to the beaver pond!
Big thank you to Dave(new volunteer👍), Tom, Kevin, Jim, Gord and Dan!👊
Good news! The beavers were busy over the summer and rebuilt their dam at Pencil Creek. Part of the beaver dam broke open this spring and washed out part of our large snow bridge across the creek. We will be going back at a later date to rebuild our snow bridge so the groomer can get across and not have to turn around at the creek.
There were many logs in water holes that had to be removed by dragging them out with ATVs.
We opened up many water holes along the way and they drained very well. We also added a few stakes at the beaver pond to guide the groomer through the shallowest part.
The 506 from P2 north to the E108 has now been gone through and is "groomer ready"! 👍👍

❄️506 Trail Clearing Opportunity❄️

The BDSC team will be attempting to clear the 506 from Parking Lot 2 north to the beaver pond.
We did clear some of this trail back in June when we did a trail inspection ride so it "shouldn't" be too bad.🤞
We would love to get this trail open this year to provide an alternative route around the logging on the E108/508/509.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
ATV is required.
