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.
A Thank-you to our Volunteers and Groomer Operators
Paudash Trail Blazers is having a BBQ lunch to thank volunteers and groomer operators for all of their hard work this past season and we would like to invite them, their partner/spouse and kids to a thank you event on Saturday April 25th from 12pm to 3pm. We will be holding the event at the Paudash clubhouse at 4964 West Eels Lake Road.
We will also be sending an email to all volunteers that we know about but if you have helped out the club this past season and don't get the email, please message us or send an email to volunteer@paudashtrailblazers.on.ca to let us know that you are out there and will be attending.

That's a Wrap for the 2026 Season (Really)
We have made the call to end the season. Those trails that we were able to re-open just over a week ago were pretty good considering the time of year but the warmth today and rain and warmth in the coming days is definitely going to do them in. We believe that our neighbouring clubs are going to make the same call soon as well.
With a mostly great start to the season, we had trails open from January 1 to March 29 (just over 12 weeks). While the season has come to an end, we still have work to do as wrapping things up takes some time and then we start working towards next year.
For those that are ATV enthusiasts, please remember that turning trails red is not an invitation to ride your ATV on our trails. Please respect our landowners and the environment and wait for ATV trails to be properly available and only ride approved ATV trails.
Finally, we want to thank landowners, volunteers and the grooming team for a great year and to note that we will be announcing an event to thank our volunteers soon so, if you have helped out this season, keep an eye out for that.

A Couple More Trails Available
Thanks to the efforts of a couple of our groomer operators and a hardy volunteer, we were able to open a couple more trails today. It's doubtful that we will be able to make anything more available but there are ridable trails so you should get out and ride if you can.
Please check the ITG for the latest updates: ofsc.evtrails.com/#
Thanks once again to our team of volunteers for their efforts to bring back some of our trails.

Risen from the Ashes
Although we thought that the season was done with the huge warm-up and rain over a week ago, followed by the devastating freezing rain that dumped a lot of trees onto trails everywhere, we are very happy to report that we are not done yet after all. Thanks to the heroic efforts of club volunteers and Committee members, who went out to scout out trails and remove an uncountable number of trees and branches, assess washouts (and fix a bunch), we have been able to make some trails available on the ITG. This enables some local riding, accessing services as well as parking areas and the clubhouse.
The work continues and we are hopeful that we will be able to open some more.
We are also in close touch with neighbouring clubs that have gone through the same massive effort and are hoping that we can establish links to them, making for much more substantial rides and other destinations.
We always talk about the volunteers and, frankly, thought that it was too much to ask them to answer the call when it was uncertain how much more riding could be expected. In spite of this, we had many out, as did our neighbouring clubs, and their efforts have resulted in some proper riding opportunities. They are inspiring and everyone of them should take a well-deserved bow.
The forecast (always to be taken with a grain of salt) is even looking decent for the coming week.
Of course, as you can see from the ITG, you cannot expect mid-season riding conditions so plan and ride accordingly.
