What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Georgian Nordic Outdoor Activity Centre for its beautifully maintained ski trails and scenic fat biking routes. The technical terrain for biking and the well-groomed paths for skiing are highlights. However, limited fat bike rentals and the presence of numerous insects can detract from the experience for some.
"Great place to do some cool winter activities like snow shoeing, cross country skiing and fat biking. Some of the scenic treks are medium to difficult level. One shortfall of this place is that they have only 3-4 fat bikes available to rent which is less for a larger group of people. Overall the place is very well maintained for other winter specific activities and we had a fun time during our visit!!"

"Very scenic technical trails over rock and boulder surfaces. Not much flow but fun trails. No features. SO MANY mosquitoes and horse flies. Trails are all rated black, but they aren't very hard, I put them at blue. Signage isn't great, and the only trail map is for the nordic/double track, so bring TrailForks. There are no staff, you pay at a terminal, so it's open 24/7."
Michael Williamson
"Ive been skiing here for 6 years now. Typically, weeknights to avoid the crowds. The trails are always well groomed. The grooming team here does a phenomenal job. The snowshoe trails here are really good and easy to follow. The cross country skiing is absolutely amazing. The trails are super well laid out ."
