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.

This is an updated post from October with the new Pre December 1 fees.

Based on your previous responses about how many KM you ride per season, we did some quick math and the average KMs per season is 4924.74km (if you provided a range, we picked the middle number to keep it realistic).
So, when it comes to the monies you spend on your permit (especially, if you take advantage of the pre December 1 fees), your investment works out to an average cost of less than 9 cents per KM ridden……sounds like a pretty good deal to us!
❄️❄️❄️
Even if you only ride 200KM, it’s only $1.14 per KM.

Seem to good to be true? We compared this against the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA) snowmobiling statistics that states ‘the average snowmobiler rides their snowmobile 1,111 miles / 1,788 km per year in North America.’ (www.snowmobile.org/snowmobiling-statistics-and-facts…)
Going off this number, the average per KM cost works out to about 13 cents.
PS – we included the $7.50 processing fee in these calculations too!

BDSC volunteers were hard at it again this week. Crews were out Friday and Saturday. A great turnout both days!
Thanks to Friday's BDSC 506 and E108 crew, Doug, Gord R, Phil, John, Mike, Steve and Terry and to Saturday's E211 crew, Adam, Doug, Gord R, new volunteer - Gord K, John, Ken G, Scott and Steve.
The efforts of these volunteers - cleaning, sanitizing and supplying trail privies, clearing dead-falls , checking signage and installing a new sign board, all bring us that much closer to being ready to open.
Winter is coming!
Great job! Thanks so much.
Thank you! We really appreciate it!
