What to Bring
Winter
In the winter, the campground roads are transformed into cross-country ski trails and as such visitors will have to ski, snowshoe or walk to their respective yurt. It is approximately a 10 minute walk and you are provided with a sleigh to help carry your camping gear. To help keep damage to the groomed ski trails to a minimum please stay to the far right of the path as possible when walking in to your yurt. The park also has 8km of snowshoe trails, and ice fishing opportunities close by.
In the winter Windy Lake partnerships with the Onaping Falls Nordics Ski Club. The Ski Club has been in operation for 40 years and professionally grooms over 15 kilometres of ski trails for all skill levels. These trails offer both classic and skate skiing options and are widely regarded as some of the best ski trails in the entire region. The Ski Club also operates the Ski Chalet (located in the main parking lot) which is open to the public from 8am to 4:30pm on Saturdays and Sundays and features flush toilets, a sitting area, wood stove and hot chocolate and coffee. You can also rent your ski equipment here and/or take lessons from the club.
