Bonnyville has a prime position along the Iron Horse Trail, so it's no wonder snowmobilers flock to this town. Soak up the wilderness scenery as you sled through boreal forests on trails that seem to go on forever.

Bangs Lake

Bring an experienced local rider along with you when pursuing this unmarked trail, as it can be difficult to access. However, it does offer plenty of powder to play in and a cosy warming hut once you reach your destination.
