Snowmobiling in Northern Saskatchewan
People who live in Northern Saskatchewan know they live in one of the most beautiful, scenic parts of the province. On the Canadian Shield, the terrain is endlessly varied, with hills, densely wooded forest lands, lakes, rivers and valleys. Add several feet of snow to this and you have a snowmobiler’s paradise. With the incredible network of trails in the region, you can spend a whole season riding and never take the same way twice.
- Big River
- Located within the Forest Fringe region of Saskatchewan, the communities of Big River and Debden offer snowmobilers plenty of riding options. From groomed trails and open meadows to ice—covered lakes and smooth, rolling hills, snowmobiling in Big River and Debden is nothing short of fantastic. Check out our Snowmobiling in Big River and Debden page for information about trails, accommodations and everything else you should know about sledding in Big River and Debden.
- Candle Lake
- Candle Lake is a gorgeous area that features all varieties of terrain. There is a multitude of winding trails that will take you through thick pine forests, or you can sled across frozen ponds and open fields. There are also rolling hills, where you can ride to the top and experience a phenomenal view.
- Lac La Ronge
- Picture it: Miles of unmarked snow; Precambrian Shield terrain that includes hills, powder bowls and wooded trails; vast fields where you can open the throttle and feel that exhilaration that hooked you on sledding in the first place—all with the added bonus of being able to sled into town during the day and ride under a full moon at night. Sound like sledder's heaven? You're close—It's Lac La Ronge.
- Lake Land
- Whether you are riding on the lakes or through the forest, you have the opportunity to see some of our abundant wildlife. There are deer, moose, elk, bear, lynx, wolves, foxes, coyotes, rabbits, martens, mink and various birds. With a little luck you might see a group of otters playing and cavorting on the ice. The forest features the beauty of branches laden with snow, long dark shadows and, in places, a haunting beauty like nothing you’ve ever seen. Species of trees include white and black spruce, tamarack, willow, aspen, black poplar and birch. You may be thrilled to see a wise old owl watching from a branch high above the trail, or you could come across a group of grouse sitting low in the trees or making their way along the forest floor. No matter what you see, you will go home with many good memories and you will feel the need to return to our beautiful land.
- Prince Albert
- Known for its wide web of trails, Prince Albert is one of those places where snowmobilers can ride all day and never see the same thing twice. Put simply, it is a fantastic snowmobiling destination. With a hard working club and plenty of snow, sledding in Prince Albert is truly a treat. So why not take a trip to Saskatchewan and discover snowmobiling in Prince Albert this winter.
- Whelan Bay
- After several years of hard work we are now responsible for and maintain 140 kilometres of some of the best groomed snowmobile trails in Saskatchewan. Our trails connect to many of the other groomed trails in the area. With Candle Lake to the south of us, Lower Fishing Lake to the east and Little Bear to the north, we have two warm-up shelters—one on 232A going to Candle Lake and the other on 232M going to Little Bear. Both shelters have inside stoves and outdoor wiener roast pits. There is plenty of fire wood at each of the shelters.

All features of the original seat are retained—rear compartment, lights, side buffers all duplicated in our replacement covers.
