10 Places to Snowmobile in Manitoba

Posted: October 30, 2025 | Author: Allison Dalke

There are many reasons why snowmobilers love Manitoba — the dense forest, the wide open lakes and the abundance of snow are just a few.

There’s nothing like powering a snowmobile across a magical wintry landscape. Manitoba is home to over 50 snowmobile clubs and nearly 13,000 kilometres of groomed trails in all regions. From the rocky outcrops of eastern Manitoba to the vast frozen waters of the Interlake, the dense forests of the Parkland to the abundant snow in the North, here are 10 sled-friendly places to explore across the province.

Be sure to research ahead of your adventure for information on trail passes. For more information including trail maps, visit SnoMan and SledMB53.

Note: Due to fallen trees from this summer's wildfires, some snowmobile trails in Northern Manitoba may be impacted. Before heading out, check with trail conditions at SledMB53 or with the local snowmobiling club for the latest trail updates.

Lac du Bonnet and Lee River Area

The Lee River Snow Riders is the club responsible for maintaining over 200 km of picturesque groomed trails throughout the Lac du Bonnet and Lee River area. The trail system has five warm-up shelters with wood stoves for heating and cooking—so be sure to bring some lunch along on the ride. Try chicken noodle soup in a thermos...it's a classic!

Canadian Power Toboggan Championship

Beausejour

The fastest racers in the world? A world-class racing track made of pure ice? Insane speeds of over 160 km/hr? The Canadian Power Toboggan Championships are set to return to Beauséjour for the home opener on December 13 and 14, 2025 and March 7 and 8, 2026 for the 64th Canadian Championships.

Swan Valley Area

When asked about their favourite trail systems in Manitoba, snowmobilers bring up Swan Valley again and again. The Swan Valley Snowmobile Association takes exceptional care of 375 km of trails that wind through wooded terrain, meadows and rolling hills, with four warm-up shelters along the way.

Flin Flon Area

The further north you venture in Manitoba, the longer the winters! The Border Explorers Snowmobile Club has all the information you need on trails in Flin Flon, and if you're adventurous, challenge yourself with the 144 km trail from Flin Flon to The Pas.

Bonus: Northern Manitoba has snowmobile trails connecting from Swan River all the way to Gillam by way of the new Cranberry Portage to Snow Lake Trail, known as Trail 14.

Interlake Area

Well-known for other winter activities like ice fishing, Manitoba’s Interlake area is also a hotspot for snowmobiling. The Interlake Snow Trackers maintain nearly 600 km of trails that will take you through Arborg, Hecla, Grindstone, Riverton, Gimli, Winnipeg Beach, Narcisse, Peterfield and even across frozen Lake Winnipeg to Grand Marais—so plan to make some stops at local attractions and restaurants found along the route.

Virden Area

Experience winter along the Assiniboine Valley with over 200 km of groomed trails, courtesy of the team at Virden Valley Runners. The trail loops around Oak Lake and continues north to the town of Miniota. Get some friends together and make a day or weekend of it!

Thompson Area

Consider a stay at Sasagiu Rapids Lodge, which is located alongside the trail system and offers snowmobile rentals and a delicious restaurant on site for hotel guests.

Whiteshell Provincial Park

Whiteshell Provincial Park grooms some of the most accessible and scenic snowmobiling trails in the province. 300+ km of trails will take you through thick forested areas and across frozen lakes of of the park.

That goal continues to be upheld today with beautiful trails that run through more than 15 communities, including Notre Dame de Lourdes, St. Leon, Clearwater, Morden and more.
