With prime winter conditions and an abundance of warm-up shelters along the way, the trails around Tisdale will enthrall you. You can ride for hundreds of kilometres, and then relax afterward in town, grab a bite to eat and enjoy a comfortable rest at one of the local accommodations. Tisdale is located at the intersection of highways 3 and 35. Ample parking and staging areas can be found behind the Tisdale Recplex or the Dog Hide Park within town limits. Additionally, trails are close to motels for those staying overnight and parking is available there.
Tisdale’s motels, restaurants and gas stations are quite sledder-friendly. Snowmobilers are permitted to ride their licensed machines directly from their front door to the trails, but please avoid driving along the town’s main street.

If you want to go sledding in any part of Saskatchewan, you must register with the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association. Your registration can be purchased at any SGI motor license issuer in the province.
The local Tisdale Snowmobile Club has dedicated members working every season to keep the trails groomed and in excellent shape for snowmobilers. They also work together with other clubs in the area to promote events and activities.
"We have a great core group and tons of volunteers for events and projects we do....we're anticipating lots of snow. We are always very grateful to our area farmers who allow us access for our trails."
- Wayne Hedin, president of the Tisdale Snowmobile Club
