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.

It's over. 😢😢
We hung in there as long as we could. We had our trails open for over 6 weeks. Not bad.
Overall, it was a good year and our trails were pretty minty for most of it!!👍
Wish we would have received some of that lake effect snow that buried southwestern and central Ontario in January. We would have been able to open much earlier.
Landowners

Without your generosity, we don't have a trail system!🙏

Thank you for all the sacrifice and work that all people in our community have done on our trails by all our volunteers and support staff. An awesome season and job well done. To next year for an awesome sledding season.
Thank you for all the work that went in to the trails again this year. Our last ride was on Friday and didn't disappoint. Kudos 👏
Great job everyone 👏👏👏 It was a pleasure meeting some of the volunteers and members and especially riding some awesome white ribbon on the Buckhorn trail system! Until next year ❄️
