Another season has come to an end. As of March 29, 2018 the NRSA trails will be listed as closed for the season. Thanks to our landowners, permit buyers, visitors and mostly our hard working volunteers. Is it too early to start the countdown to 2019?

The 196 is Missing Link trail, the A-section that is closed is North Renfrew Snowmobile Association.

Jeff, you are right lots of rocks & sun on that section of the trail.

Stopping Place is on the TOPS A - Trail about 13 west of Deep River, it's just about 1/2 km past the compression station on the pipeline (trail 138/TOPS A intersection) on Tops A, there is a fire pit, outhouse & shelter there.

Good morning snowmobilers. We've had some inquiries about our trails. Like most of the province we are experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures and it is of course having it's effect on the trail system. We received feedback yesterday that things were still in very good condition. We will be on the trails today so will see first hand what conditions are like. As we all know, it is hard to predict when it comes to conditions and weather forecasts but we would guess that since our base is solid enough and we have modified our grooming schedule to preserve it, that there will still be decent sledding by the weekend. If we assess and find otherwise, changes will be made immediately on the ITG found at https://trails.evouala.com/ofsc/

SUNDAY FEB 18/18 - NRSA Family Day Social on the A-trail west of Deep River at the Stopping Place from 11:30 am till 2:00 pm. There will be Dougie's Dogs, hot chocolate, bonfire plus a great opportunity to meet fellow snowmobilers.

I was out yesterday and had a super ride, maybe the best of the season! Trails 131, 132, 134, 138 & A-Trail from Deep River to the Stopping Place!

Good news it snowing here!

Groomer has been hard at work! Trails are in great shape and we are expecting some snow today! Here's a couple pictures taken yesterday on trail 134/132

Let's not forget we are all volunteers! Even the ones reporting updates to the district office. So if you are not happy then step up and volunteer for your local club!

This morning one of our North Renfrew Snowmobile Association volunteers was out cleaning up some face-slappers along the trails from the Chalk River park and ride - 133 and Tops A trails towards Deep River and lost his cellphone. If you came along afterwards and found it on the trail please give him a call at 613-589-2762. Thank you very much.

NRSA groomer has been out since yesterday 5:45 am and still out on the trails now! Trails have opened some green, some yellow check the OFSC itg for latest status. I have not been out yet myself, hoping to go tomorrow!

Good news for NRSA Trails! Check the OFSC interactive guide for up to date trail status!

Largedaryl, It's not fun getting wet! Must be pretty disappointing trying to complete packing on the E104A, let's hope you can get it packed and hopeful drive down the frost! Got some snow today, about 5 inches of fluffy snow, so it will help, but would like some nice wet snow!
