A great combination between the old and the new. Traveling in OFSC District 15 allows you to experience the power of the epic Northern Ontario Snow Train and hop off and continue your travels with the throttle of your snowmobiles.
For a great time with picturesque trails and food good enough to eat twice, this is one northern experience you will absolutely rave about when you return home.

Day 1

Take the Snow Train from Sault Ste. Marie to Hornepayne. It's always a good idea to check the rates first and the schedule on their website.

Sit down to a great meal and get a good night’s rest at Uncle’s Restaurant and Lodge. Be sure to book ahead at 807-868-3232, as its rustic feel is perfect for getthing warmed up before a crisp day on the trails ahead.
