Equipment is booked online and must stay on the Little Cataraqui Creek property. Visit our Winter Recreation Page for further details and booking. If conditions permit, equipment rental bookings will open on Wednesdays for the coming weekend. Due to temperature and snow variability we are only booking equipment one weekend at a time. Visit our Winter Rentals page to book.

- Full set of cross country skis (boots, poles, skis) - $22.50

Beginner Cross-Country Ski Lesson
We offer beginner ski lessons on Saturdays in January and February when conditions permit. Lessons run for just over an hour at 10:30 am and 1:00 pm. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult during the lesson. Lessons do not include equipment, it is up to the participant to book rental equipment in advance of the lesson. When lessons are available registration will open on Wednesday and cost is $25 per person. Visit our Winter Rentals page for details and registration.
Cross-Country Ski Trail Etiquette
Our groomed and track-set cross-country ski trails are a unique feature in our area and are time consuming to produce. Please do not walk, snowshoe, walk your dog, or skate ski on the track-set. Trail 5 and the wide service roads are available for multi-use. Please visit our Ski Trail Etiquette post for further information.
