Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Come ski on our growing network of over 18km of groomed trails for classic and skate-skiing at Wesley Clover Parks. Trail improvements happen each season. We ask that you please respect the trails which includes no bicycling<\/strong> (including no fatbiking), no walking<\/strong> and no snowshoeing<\/strong> on ski trails. We offer a dedicated 3km snowshoe trail in addition to the ungroomed trail from P3 to trail 12 that is suitable for snowshoeing. Dogs are not permitted<\/strong> on any trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public is welcome to get out to ski and enjoy the trails. You can buy a ski day pass for $10.00 or a snowshoe day pass for $5.00; children under 13 are no charge. Kanata Nordic members receive a season trail pass as part of their membership to ski the trails as often as they like throughout the season. Day passes can be purchased at either trailhead or you can pre-purchase a day pass online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trails are groomed approximately 3 times per week by volunteer groomers. Trail conditions will vary depending on snowfall and snow conditions. It is recommended that you do not plan your ski on Saturday\u2019s between 1:00 pm \u2013 4:00 pm when lessons take place and there is more limited trail space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We share our trail network with local wildlife and ask that you avoid approaching or interacting with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also share the Parks with the Forest and Nature School<\/a>, which operates year-round and is located north of the campground area. Classes are run largely outdoors, so please help the school maintain its privacy and security  by staying clear of their access road, structures (including their porta-potty), and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
