Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club has just over 300 km of amazing trails extending from Gooderham to near Bancroft and from just north of Apsley to the south end of Algonquin Park.
Our trails connect to other great trails going in every direction.
There are services available through our club area (gas, food snowmobile dealers and accommodation) so you can be assured of an enjoyable ride no matter where you go.
Watch for club events like the cookout during the sledding season as well, where you can enjoy a BBQ’d delight and a drink.

Our Volunteers in Action Again
A big thanks to our helpers in the north, Duane L. and John S., who were out on TOP E today, clearing brush and downed trees. As you can see from the pictures, there were some large trees lying on the trail that needed attention.
We also had a team (Ron H., Ron M., Jon C. and Darrin S.) out on E108, inspecting a bridge, and on 608, looking at opportunities to get the trail off Hadlington Road in a few spots as Hydro has done some some clearing in the ditches.
Things are happening and the weather continues to be good for getting the ground frozen. Fingers crossed it stays cold right up to when the "real" snow flies,

On Sunday, November 16, volunteers Mike T., Tony D., John D., and Phil L. made great progress on the 608 Trail, where it crosses Highway 188 in Tory Hill and drops into the swamp. Two culverts have been installed, logs skidded in, and placed to form a corduroy layer over the swampy area. The Club is working hard to prepare the trails for an earlier opening and a later closing in the season. Thanks to Toye's Tree Removal for providing the excavator and skills to make this happen! #itonlylookseasy #volunteerism #paudashtrailblazers #snowmobiling #PtbSc

Preparation for the Season
We know everyone is excited to see snow and cold weather at this stage in November. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come.
The team has been working to get things ready. Work is under way on the bridge on E109 on the mill property and we have completed a reroute on 612 east of Cardiff to accommodate a landowner's desire to see the trail moved. Other projects are in works as well.
Training for groomer operators and other coordinators continues as we do refreshers on best practices for grooming as well as many aspects of safety, risk management and signage every year.
Our signage volunteers have been out all over our system, ensuring that required signs are in place and replacing any missing or damaged ones. Like every year, this is a multi-person, multi-day effort as we are checking signs over our almost 300km of trail. This year we spent almost $500 of your permit money on signs: this is actually less than other years given that we didn't have to purchase posts due to re-use of posts from closed trails. As with everything in our lives, costs are going up for signs.
Thanks to Ron R, Ron M, Jon C, Phil L, Rob D, Darrin S and other volunteers out there for ensuring that safety and destination and trail information signs are there for our riders.
