Rev up your winter adventure in Barrie! The region is a true snowmobiler’s paradise, offering access to hundreds of kilometres of pristine, well-groomed trails that wind through forests, fields, and scenic countryside. While there aren’t designated snowmobile trails within the city limits, Barrie serves as the perfect gateway to some of Central Ontario’s best routes — including connections to the Ardagh Ring, Bear Creek Loop, and Barrie North Shore Trail. Before you ride, be sure to check trail maps, conditions, and permits through the Mid-Ontario Snowmobile Trails and Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) websites.

Remember to follow the City of Barrie by-laws relating to snow machines — snowmobiling is not permitted on city streets, sidewalks, parks, or most city-owned lands. Grab your OFSC trail permit, gear up, and get ready to discover winter at full throttle just minutes from downtown Barrie!
