New Year’s Day snowshoe trek near Tuktawayin
Winter 2013 is finally here to stay in Muskoka. Small lakes have frozen over and the larger lakes are in the process of becoming solid. Outdoor skating rinks are opening as are cross country ski trails. I skied at the Bracebridge Resource Managment Centre today just to check out their conditions and I found their groomed trails to be very good. For those who prefer backcountry skiing and snowshoeing as I do, I can tell you I have been out in the bush on both snowshoes and skis here in Gravenhurst over the past few days and the snow coverage was sufficient to have a great ski. Obviously, more snow will make it even better.
I also spent some time at Arrowhead Park on New Year’s Eve afternoon. They were very busy with skiers, snowshoers and skaters. I was there to skate on their newly expanded skating path which winds it’s way through a couple of big loops of the campground roads. The loop that has been added this year is many times longer than the one they had last year and both are “Zamboni” maintained. There is a fire going and several picnic tables set up at the junction of the two trails. If you like skating but don’t like going around in circles then this is the place to go.
