The North Bay Nordic Ski Club is located at 630 Northshore Rd on the outskirts of North Bay Ontario (Click on Location, Fees and Hours for a map).

Our club house is a two storey structure. On the lower level there are Womens and Mens changerooms and washroom facilities as well as a common area, often used for warm-ups and brief meetings. The main floor of the clubhouse is heated with a wood stove and has a dining area / common area and snack bar.

The snack bar serves light meals, warm drinks and other light snacks. It also functions as the reception area for sale of day use passes and ski equipment rentals

The Club also has a separate Jackrabbit Lodge which houses the Jackrabbits as well as serving as a race office for club events. The Club garage serves both as grooming equipment storage and as a waxroom and locker room for all club members.

The Clubhouse, Garage, Jackrabbit Lodge, parking lot and stadium/instruction area sit on 3 acres of private land owned by the club. 

The trail system is a series of concentric loops totaling 50 km. Most trails are groomed for both skating and classic, the exception being the 18 km green trail which is groomed only for classic skiing. The trails are on Crown Land which is part of the Mattawa River Provincial Park system. The club’s land use permit for the trails runs from October 31 to April 15 each year. 

The Club offers 2.5 km of lit trails using low pressure sodium lights mounted on 35 foot hydro poles. The lighting of the trails was made possible by a generous Ontario Trillium Grant in 2001 and again in 2002.

Facilities are available for rent during the off-season when the clubhouse is not in regular use. Contact This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .
