Ascending a Hill
The Kawartha Nordic Ski Club is located north of Burleigh Falls on Highway 28 and offers a variety of cross country ski trails for all activity and skill levels. It’s a great place for classic, skate-skiing, snowshoeing, or winding through the woods on one of their smaller trails. Located in the rolling hills of shield country, a trip to the club offers a chance to enjoy a winter trek through mature hardwood forests with towering pines above.
