Look no further for a fresh adventure
The Christmas Mountains snowmobiling experience is New Brunswick’s snowiest winter playground.
Featuring the province’s longest sledding season, from first snow in December to the last fall in April, this region boasts 500 km (311 mi.) of freshly groomed Federation trails that can be entered from Plaster Rock, Doaktown, Saint-Quentin, Campbellton, or Bathurst. A portion of the trail rides through the peaks and valleys of Mount Carleton Provincial Park.
These exciting journeys traverse unspoiled landscape among the rolling peaks of the Appalachian Range, cutting through pure nature between rest stops where warming huts, accommodations, fuel, and food are all available. Serpentine Lodge, Governors Wilderness Resort, Island Lake Lodge, and Du Repos B&B are some of the stay-over spots with trail access that offer an ideal base for a multi-day snowmobiling adventure.
With names like Rudolf, Cupid, Comet, Dancer, Vixen, Candy Cane and North Pole, they’re the only trails in the province that don’t follow the numbered system – even more reason to check out this unmatched destination for New Brunswick snowmobiling.
For an extra thrill, take a ride along Piston Alley, a 30-km stretch of wide, relatively straight trail running alongside the Nepisiguit River between Rogers Lake and Governors Lodge. It's a favourite among experienced snowmobilers and a highlight of the Nepisiguit trail system.
Christmas Mountains are just one more reason New Brunswick is #1 for sledding fun. Time to hit the trails!
