Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I rent a snowmobile?

The high costs of running such a service has virutally eliminated most of these outfitters across southern Ontario. There are still a few operating a little further north. The Haliburton Forest in Haliburton bordering Algonquin park, Muskoka Motion in the Muskoka's and Waynes World Polaris in Bancroft to name a few. If anyone knows of a business which rents snowmobiles closer to the Ganaraska Forest please let us know and we would be happy to include your name here.

How do I become a member of the Ganaraska Snowmobile Club?

If you bought your permit from the Ganaraska Snowmobile Club your automatically a member. If you bought from any other club that's ok you don't need to be a member to participate in any of the events, you just won't receive any regular mailings from the club. Watch the website or signup for our online newsletter to stay connected with the latests news from the GSC.
