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.
A little morning read for our BDSC followers.

One week left to save $50 on your trail permit!
The Interactive Trail Guide(ITG) is supposed to go live today.
There will be changes from last year due to the OFSC mandated trail reductions.
There may also be some trails missing due to pending landowner MOUs for many clubs. A club can't show a trail unless every MOU has been signed from junction to junction. Be patient.
Please be decent if you reach out to any club regarding trail closures. Likely they aren't happy about it either.
Always remember! We are all volunteers doing the best we can with what we have. Play nice in the sandbox please.👍
