Wildland Recreation Area: This huge recreation area,
covering 2,463 square km of rugged alpine terrain, contains
breathtaking mountainous backcountry terrain with very few
facilities or services, especially in the winter. There are
about 700 km of trails, which are a combination of the old
forestry pack trails established in the early 1900's and a
number of mineral exploration roads and trails. The trail
system is not maintained or groomed. Because there is so much
space here, do not expect to find much in the way of broken
trail to follow, although snowmobilers also use many of the
trails. All backcountry skiers/snowshoers need to know what
they're doing, how to travel in avalanche country, and be
prepared for difficult conditions. Access to the recreation
is provide via Highway 11 and the all weather, gravel Forestry
Trunk Road (#734) and Red Deer River Roads.
Pines Hills Golf Course • Nordic Ski Club
The Nordic Ski Club (aka cross-country ski club) is now in the process of establishing their trail system throughout the golf course. In an effort to preserve the integrity of the groomed trails we respectfully ask on their behalf that walkers please use a separate (walkers-only, including pets) trail that will be established and maintained by the Nordic Club.
