Interactive Trail Guide and Trail Status Reports
The Interactive Trail Status Report Guide uses colour-coded trail graphics instead of text. This visual representation is much more user friendly, and at a glance allows you to find the status of the trail you'd like to ride as well as the ability to view all OFSC Prescribed Trails and plan your route. To view the Interactive Trail Guide, please enter below:

|
| Attention: In addition to trail status, your decision to enter any available OFSC trail must be based on other determining factors at the time of your ride, including weather conditions, visibility, natural hazards, storm or other damage and the conditions of both you and your sled. |
 |
• OPEN: Trail is available to snowmobilers to enter at their own risk.
• CLOSED: Trail NOT open or available and unsafe for snowmobiling
• LIMITED: Trail passable for marginal snowmobiling so extra caution.
• DATA NOT REPORTED: Status of trail not available.

How to Use Service Icons
|
There are two types of Service Icons: Generic indicates that a trail accessible service is available in or near that town, but does not give its exact GIS coordinates or any other info. Specific indicates that a trail accessible service is available at exact GIS coordinates and includes the name and info for that service.
- Look for service icons where you want to ride
- Zoom in to view the local area
- Click on an icon to see if it is generic or specific
- If generic, use your paper trail guide and trail signs to find it.
- If specific, use your GPS, mobile phone and/or paper maps to find it.
|
| Work in Progress: For the convenience of riders, the OFSC is trying to identify as many towns as possible that have trail accessible gas and lodgings. The ones we have are marked with Generic Service Icons that do not indicate their exact location, only the town they are in or near, so you will have to find them on your own when you get there. Where a gas station or lodging is an advertiser, their Specific Service Icon includes name and info along with the GIS coordinates provided to us. The OFSC cannot guarantee the exact location or coordinates of any Service Icon or that every existing service is shown on the Interactive Trail Guide, and assumes no responsibility or liability for any discrepancies, inaccuracies, errors or omissions regarding actual locations or the status of any businesses or for any resulting loss, damage, injury or harm. |
