Hello all! We have been out grooming and packing and trying to get trails in decent shape. We have to get a reasonable amount of snow 8 " to 10" minimum to cover over as many rocks as possible before we can take out the groomer or we just end up breaking the expensive equipment and then we are out of commission until we are able to get it repaired.
Please refer to the ITG , RED is closed please respect private property.
Yellow means limited availability, beware of dangers exposed rocks branches etc.

10cm on 8th of Dec, 15cm on the 10th and 20cm on the 24th sounds like 18 " to me but nothing was packed and because of that the rain washed it away. And yup, I get it ther was less in the forested trails. Because no packing was ongoing 4 wheelers & SxS had a field day with the trails. Bagshaw and his band of A$$h*les were bragging on social media and posting pics of their rides because rule 12 states if no operations ongoing they are good to ride, they tore up snow bridges and destroyed trails and it could have been prevented by packing where it could be done. And this isn't just for hdsc, center hastings could have packed the 106 they had the same 45 cm and a cpl clubs in Kawarthas too. Its unfortunately not the 70's anymore, conditions are different now so you gotta adjust the mentality to pack when the snow hits, waiting for more has proven unsccessful the last 2 yrs because more came in the form of rain. Anyway, just an observation.
Havelock and District Snowmobile Club 2025 Season Greeting
Hello HDSC Club Members,
Welcome to the Winter of 2025. As of this writing, we’ve just enough snow to start Grooming Operations for this season. We need more snow but we’ve starting packing on the more southerly trails where less snow is required. With a little bit of luck, we’ll get more snow allowing us to fully open the trails for the season.
It’s been a very busy off season as new OFSC procedures required us to re-confirm all of our Landowner Permissions. Normally we work with changes in land ownership or re-routes but this year we did a complete trail system Landowner Permission update. However, with the support of the Ontario’s best Landowners, we are just about complete. If you meet any of them, please be sure to thank them for allowing sledders to continue to enjoy organized, safe sledding on the HDSC trail system.
Offseason improvements have been undertaken on the E107, rail trail portion, to address washouts and similar improvements on the 805. All the trails have been brushed and signed.
Our Events Schedule will be published last minute to ensure we have snow and trails as needed. Expect a couple “Pop-Up BBQs” on the trails. Watch our Facebook page for the upcoming dates and locations.
We’re in the second year of ownership of our Groomer and Drag. They were assigned to us “last minute” last season but over the summer they have had a complete maintenance review with several upgrades to improve reliability, safety and grooming performance.
We’re gratified by the on-going support from you, our members, given the poor snow conditions we’ve endured last year and the year before.
We’ve never been better prepared to operate our trails this year and just need a little help from Mother Nature to make this season a big success.
Please reach out to us with any questions, suggestions, or perhaps to help us out in some way. Give a shout to hdsc-info@district2ofsc.ca or send us a dm and we’ll respond as best we can. We haven’t figured out how to make snow, yet, but we’ll respond to anything else as best we can. We are looking for help with Fundraising. Please see our post earlier today in regards to this. Nothing too big but if anyone would like to reach out, we want to talk!
We’ll leave you with three thoughts. We need snow, we need our members and we need the continued support of our Landowners.
Please ensure we treat the people and land with respect so we can continue to enjoy sledding on HDSC trails for years to come.
Best wishes for a safe and fun-filled 2025 Season.
Glen, Peter, Rob, Adam, Brent, Laurie, Shari, Paolina, Sydney, Ed, Stephen, Dom, Jim, Terry, Wyatt, Jeff, Clarence, John and Pat.

Hi Folks, please use caution if travelling on E107 from Burnt Dam to Cty Rd. 46. There is ongoing logging going on in that area.

Good morning everyone!
HDSC is looking for a volunteer to help us asap with our mapboard ad campaign. Please see below for a more detailed description.
New Volunteer Job Description – Sales Assistant
Havelock and District Snowmobile Club (HDSC)
HDSC is looking for someone to come out and help us occasionally to call some local businesses and services about our MapBoard Advertising program. We have a list of qualified Sales Leads, and we’re looking for someone to get on the telephone and follow-up with them. No experience necessary, and membership in HDSC is not required. Come out and have fun with a great group of local people who are working to build and maintain part of the HBM trail system. Join the team and get to know the program, pricing and customer benefits. It’s a volunteer role but its “work from home”, with monthly meetings near Havelock (in person and zoom supported). If you are interested, please send an email to hdsc-info@district2ofsc.ca or send a private message from this page
and learn more about it.
The HDSC club team.
