Pêmiska offers a robust trail network, with over 35 kilometres of multi-use trail from roadway to snow prairie pasture. It’s an ideal choose-your-own-winter-adventure scenario: Head out for a snowshoe, go cross-country skiing on groomed trail sections that take you through forested areas and open prairie, or try out fat-tire biking. Pêmiska also offers guided ATV rides around the area for those looking for an adrenaline-filled outing.
