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.
Just FYIThis weekend, our crews will be in Peterborough County, Apsley, and Barry's Bay areas to continue restoring power after the recent ice storm that devasted parts of central and eastern Ontario.
Work will take place in remote, hard-to-access areas on or near these lakes:
✅Anstruther Lake
✅Catchacoma Lake
✅Jack Lake
✅Kasshabog Lake
✅Pog Lake
✅Stoney Lake
Crews will use specialized equipment, boats and low-flying helicopters to complete the restoration safely and efficiently.
For everyone’s safety, please be aware that if you're in the area you may experience travel delays or slowdowns as equipment is moved and staged temporarily on roadsides or private driveways where safe.
We also ask that personal drones not be flown near powerlines or equipment to protect both the public and our crews.
Thank you as we work to restore service in these challenging locations.

Just a few hours ago, the last kilometer of OFSC Prescribed Snowmobile Trails was turned unavailable marking the end of the 2024-25 Ontario Snowmobile Season.
And what a season it was! 🤩🤩🤩
This year we are doing things a bit differently and OFSC CEO, Ryan Eickmeier has this letter for everyone who contributes to ensure organized snowmobiling is here for all to enjoy!

Then you need to successfully complete an Ontario-approved Snowmobile Safety Course before riding on public lands.
