ON THE TRAIL
DARRELL NESBITT/MINNEDOSA TRIBUNE
Groomed trails maintained by local snowmobile clubs are one way snowmobile enthusiasts can unleash their passion for speed and safety, no matter the weather. The out-of-town groomed trail system at Minnedosa is part of more than 12,000 kilometres of designated Snoman trails in the province. Snowmobilers love the area thanks to its wooden terrain, meadows, and rolling hills, which cast magical views that are truly second to none.
