With plenty of options for staging, fuel, food, lodging, and of course, the scenery, the newer Hav-A-Ball tour is quickly becoming a popular one.

This snowmobile loop offers an exciting mix of well-established trails that wind through the majestic forests, rugged terrain, and picturesque highlands of east Central Ontario’s premier snowbelt, including its namesake Bon Echo Provincial Park. With many staging locations, places to eat, stay, and fuel up, and all just a short drive from the 401 corridor, the Bon Echo Loop is one of Southern Ontario’s most popular loops.

Where the A112A trail meets the A trail, you'll find yourself surrounded by giant white pines.

You probably recognize this tree as its stately appearance on the Canadian Shield landscape was immortalized by artists like the Group of Seven. Easy to differentiate from other pines, they have a characteristic bundle of five long needles corresponding with the five-letter word, “w-h-i-t-e.” The upper part of the tree branches ascend, giving a broadly oval flat-topped, and usually asymmetrical outline.

One of the delights of the Explorers Snow Tour crossing the Amable du Fond river. Located where OFSC A trail crosses Highway 630, it's named after the Chief who gave his name to the river as a significant watershed boundary between native clans.

If you walk over the snowmobile access bridge you will be within a stand of eastern white cedar, an important deer wintering area—and a great place for a photo!

Have a drink of cool, clean, and refreshing water right from the earth. This spring was vitally important to early pioneers. In sledders will have a great time ripping up and down this hilly part of OFSC trail A101D.

Located on the north edge of Algonquin Park outside of Bonfield (on the BF205) is another stunning vista and great place to stop and see the incredible terrain in the area—and you don’t even have to get off your snowmobile to see this one, you can ride right to the top!

Amazing to think that this was once all underwater. Click here for a 360° view from the top.

On OFSC trail BF205, you’ll find a unique geomorphological feature carved by the waters of the receding glacier about 10,000 years ago. It’s a complete drop-off. Besides being a dangerous spot to lose your footing, there are Algonquian legends about this spot being home to Wendigos, powerful monsters with a desire to kill and eat their victims. Listen for the winds howling through the canyon.
