Snowshoeing is the best winter activity!

Snowshoe trails run parallel to the cross country ski trails located behind the Community Complex. Snowshoes can be rented from the Complex at no cost. 

Interested in something a bit more challenging? The area around Kirkland Lake has a lot of bush roads that offer great winter trekking opportunities. Some of the best are along Highway 672, heading north to Matheson. Esker Lakes Provincial Park is closed in the winter, but there are many trails you can take from the highway into some of the more remote lakes in the Park Extension. Just be safe: tell someone where you are going and when you will be back, and dress and equip yourself appropriately.
