Club house:  171 Mallard Rd, Haliburton ON K0M 1S0

The AGM was held on May 24, 2025 with a good turnout! The HCSA finds itself in good shape, and ready to financially take on Winter 2026, but not without some challenges. Hands down, other than grooming revenue from permits our biggest source of income is advertising on our annual Trail Guide and Sign Boards We groomed 1,795 hours spanning 213 shifts. And yes, we missed some days for a number of reasons; weather conditions, manpower challenges, lack of snow, blizzards and mechanical (minor) issues. What a difference a year makes, almost twice the grooming hours vs. 2024. Big changes are coming for winter ‘26 grooming with 4 Grooming rigs down from 5.

A new Executive was voted in and the following are some new and some returning:
President: Neil Vanderstoop
Director-Volunteer Coord: Joyce Jones

Director-Building/Equipment: Jarrod Lawrance
Secretary: Sherri Patterson
Director: Noah Black

Welcome to Season 54!!

Trails are gradually opening up and with this colder weather upon us and the ice is getting thicker on those lakes making them almost ready to stake! Some are starting to be staked now! Please remember don‘t ride on lakes unless they are staked and check the ITG for trails that will be open or not. No riding on them unless they are yellow or green.

Volunteers have been hard at work preparing the trails for opening! We just need some more snow!

Be sure to get your OFSC permits (a requirement for our trails) which are now at full price.

Click on the Sled below to buy your permits. All permits are OFSC permits as HCSA trail network is part of the OFSC Network of trails across Ontario.

Happy Sledding in what looks to be a banner year for sledding in Haliburton!

Please make sure you check our FYI Page before heading out on your trails journey, as there may be some changes to trail conditions or other new issues.

Hard copy maps are available at many of our supporter locations in Minden and Haliburton. Get yours now! Electronic version is always available here on the web site on the Trail Guide page.


Thank you for your support.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT HCSA  LANDOWNERS

Exceptionally generous landowners allow winter use of their properties for our enjoyment. This means so much to the HCSA, we are so grateful. Your woodlot,  your hydro right of way, your wide open space gives us the opportunity to see Haliburton at its best.  Landowners bring visitor dollars to our communities helping small business.  Our heartfelt thanks for all you do.   You make a difference.
