The Lac du Bonnet Cross Country Ski Club maintains classic ski trails in the Agassiz Provincial Forest. The 10K trail system has gentle inclines and winds through rolling gravel ridges, mature and plantation forest, and surrounded by spruce bogs and the occasional poplar bluff.
Logging of the Blue and Red trails started in fall 2020, so those trails no longer exist. A new Yellow trail connects from the Green trail on the west side of Pit Road and goes south out-and-back. A new trail map has been posted.
The trails are groomed by Carl Nilsson.
The trailhead is located on the south side of PTH 317, 15 km west of Lac du Bonnet or 34 km east of the junction of PTH 59 & PTH 317 (or 80 km NE of the Perimeter Hwy & PTH 59). There is no signage on PTH 317, but the parking lot can be seen from the highway. There is a trail map at the PTH 317 trailhead, and all trails have excellent signage.
There is also a port-a-potty at the PTH 317 trailhead.
