the Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club

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.

Trails / Grooming Update February 5

We have had a number of questions about E108, E110 and the trails around Gooderham and so wanted to explain what's happening there.

On E108, we have a new washout problem that arose and snow has been thin on very rocky parts of that trail. We are planning a new brush bridge there today and are pretty sure we would be making E108 available soon.

On E110, between TOP E and 617 (Saunders), we had been waiting on a landowner agreement and just received that yesterday (it is now showing on the ITG). We have a small bit of signage to put back and need to run a groomer down it. We hope to have that done in the next couple of days.

We finally got a groomer down to the trails around Gooderham yesterday (again, waiting for enough snow and dealing with groomer issues). Check the ITG to see updated trail statuses on 607 and 610.

In general, groomers have been rolling, although we have had small issues with a couple of them that cut short grooming runs and caused us to pick the child (we mean trail) we love the most. We are hoping to have our John Deere back in action any day now and we are dealing with electrical gremlins in the Case.

Keep an eye on the ITG and please respect any red that you might see, not just on our trails, but elsewhere too. At this point, red could mean a safety issue in addition to other reasons.

Quick Trail Update - E110

UPDATE: the drag has been taken out of the bush and the ITG has been updated.

We have a groomer broken down (drag hitch broke) on E110 near Closs Road and the trail is completely blocked. The team is out working on it but the trail has been made red until the situation is rectified.

Hate when that happens has to us

Hope you get it fixed without too much fanfare

2025 Cookout Report

The cookout was a resounding success. We had a great day for it and we can't recall the last time we saw so many sleds and cars at the clubhouse for an event. It was so busy that we ran out of food, just toward the end. We apologize to those that showed up hungry that we couldn't feed. We had a lot more people than ever.

Attendees were also very generous for our draws, the silent auction, the merchandise and food donations. We raised more money than ever this year. We want to thank everyone.

We are in the process of contacting the winners of the prizes.

Chainsaw Grand Prize - Darrin S.
