Are you tired of crowded snowmobile trails?
This self-guided, 3-5 day tour encompasses over 400 miles of pristine wilderness and awesome trails! Novice and experienced snowmobilers alike have the freedom to plan their own itinerary and experience friendly communities and quality services along the way. Usually, you can ride for miles and not see another sled! Now, that’s an awesome ride!
The only U.S. customs office for entry into the U.S.A. is at Crane Lake, MN. As a result, if you would like to complete the entire cross-border circle tour, it should be completed in a counter-clockwise direction so that you can re-enter at the Crane Lake, MN customs location (accessed by trail L901M). Upon entering the U.S.A. at Crane Lake you must show documentation that supports your citizenship. At this point in time you do not require a passport to re-enter into the U.S. via Canada. More information can be found on the “Visitors from the U.S.” page of this website.
When snowmobiling in Ontario it is mandatory to posses valid OFSC trails permit. If you will be snowmobiling in Canada more than once it is worthwhile to purchase a seasonal trail permit at $230. ($180 before December 1st). This trail permit buys you unlimited access to over 25,000 miles of snowmobile trails with very little traffic…the ultimate snowmobile experience. However, for short trips 7 day permits ($120) and 3 day permits ($90) are also available. Our trails are maintained by volunteers and the permit dollars are circulated back into our trail system. For this reason it is important that you buy where you ride! Go to OFSC trail permit page.
If you require a 7 or 3 day permit, the first resort you will pass on the Canadian side of the tour (completing the tour in a counter-clockwise direction) will be Northern Lights Lodge (807)-933-5025. Trail permits are available here. (Gas, food, and lodging also available). Please visit the Minnesota DNR website for snowmobile trail permit information on the U.S side of the tour. |
