Magnetawan Ridge Runner Snowmobile Club Trails

Over 150 km of excellent groomed OFSC trails fan out from Magnetawan in all directions joining with the main OFSC trail network. It is through the dedicated effort of the many men and women who volunteered their time, effort and financial support that the Magnetawan Ridge Runners have built, maintained, groomed and continue to improve the now 153 km of snowmobile trails.  For further snowmobile trail information, please call 705-387-3944

Magnetawan Ridge Runners history...

In February 1992 in the Village of Magnetawan concerned residents of the area met and decided to re-establish a snowmobile club for the Village of Magnetawan and surrounding areas with the intent of linking trails with all surrounding OFSC Clubs to the North, South, East and West.

This club formed to strengthen the OFSC Trail Network in the are while at the same time boosting the recessed economy.

The Magnetawan Ridge Runners was first established in approximately the year of 1968 and in the reorganization of the club in February 1992 it was their intent to reopen part of the original historic trail which was first established by the Magnetawan Lions Club and was possibly one of the earliest trails in our area. Unfortunately this was not possible due to restrictions along the trail. (This entailed approx. 55 km of trail.)

Their objective was to get a trail from Magnetawan to Sundridge, Magnetawan to Burks Falls and Magnetawan to Sprucedale - connecting all three. Through the dedicated effort of Jim Melick, Gerald Coombs, Dennis Roundtree to name a few and the many men and women who volunteered their time, effort and financial support, the Magnetawan Ridge Runners have built, maintained and groomed and continue to build and improve the now 153 km of trials. One of which is C104D.

The Ridge Runners achieved what the set out to do and connected North, South, East and West. Their trail system has become a very important part of the snowmobiling trail system and snowmobilers. They have connected areas which might otherwise be unattainable by snowmobilers and have brought people and businesses together.
