If you are heading towards this beautiful snow-covered location, you will find Pinestone Resort, located off of trail #7, with a full service location with all the amenities, evening offering special packages for snowmobiliers.

In Whitney the Algonquin East Gate Motel, on the TOP B trail, proudly uses solar to power their operations, for the eco-friendly rider. The Couples Resort, also off the TOP B offers an upscale stay, including 5-star dining. Near Barry's Bay, you will find the famous Spectacle Lake Lodge, off or trail #159.
