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.
502
Five BDSC volunteers were out on Saturday cleaning up the 502 where it runs along CR507. There was copious amounts of debris left on the trail from the heavy brushing the county did earlier this summer. The worst areas were cleaned up!
Thank you to Don, Perry, Mark, Jim and Dan for giving up a Saturday morning to get this done!!!
There is still another week left in the deer hunt so we will not be doing any work in the bush this week. There is some snow fencing installations we will probably tackle this week along with some maintenance work to be done at the shop. We will make a post when we confirm our next ice storm clearing adventure.
Our next BDSC monthly meeting is Nov 19th@1900 at the BDSC clubhouse.

Trail Clearing Day Saturday Nov 8
The deer hunt is on so the BDSC will not be doing any trail work in the bush for the next week+.
However, BDSC will be going out on Saturday to try to clean up the debris on the 502 trail that runs along CR507 on Saturday. The county did some heavy brushing this summer and we need to get it moved it to the fence line.
We will be working out of our vehicles.
ATV not required.
Bring a chainsaw if certified, pruners / loppers, pole saws, PPE as necessary, lunch, a snack, and lots of hydration.
Also, bring a safety vest as we will working alongside the road. We do have a few extras if needed.

501 Ice Storm Cleanup
Four BDSC volunteers and an excavator braved the cold and wet weather on Thursday and cleared a very bad section of the 501,behind the clubhouse, that was hard hit by the ice storm!
Thank you to Perry, Mark, Gord and Dan!!!👍👊
Buckhorn Sand and Gravel was hired for the job and the operator Steve did a great job removing the nastiness! It wasn't a long section, approx 1.5kms, but it still took 4 hours. Permit dollars at work!!👍
It would have taken us 4-5 days to clear it. so it was money well spent. We still have another 1km+ to clear to get to the water crossing/swamp.
