Onaping - Windy Lake Cross Country Ski Trails

cross country skiing ontario

The Onaping Falls Nordic Ski Club maintains two trail sites, one at Windy Lake Provincial Park and the other in Dowling.

The main trail system is located at Windy Lake Provincial Park, a short 45 minute drive north of Downtown Sudbury off Highway 144. Come and explore over 15 kms of beautifully forested trail set for both the classic and skating enthusiast. Our trails offer a wide variety of lengths and levels of difficulty from short, flat beginner loops to longer challenging loops for the experienced skier...and at our higher elevation we are known to have snow when no one else does!

At Windy Lake trails are groomed for both classic and skates skiing, and in Dowling trails are groomed for classic only. Trails and parking, clubhouse and waxing shed are all located in the park. These trails cross varied terrain and offer views of several smaller lakes. The Onaping Falls trails are the most hilly, and are excellent for competitive skiing/training. Rentals are available on site.
