Green’s Creek/ Hornet’s Nest was groomed and track set on Friday morning/afternoon. Tracks are shallow in spots and there are small patches of ice in low lying dips ( grooming is being done on unpaved trails).
The National Capital Greenbelt has over 100km of trails and another 25km of recreational pathways, most of which are suitable for cross-country skiing in the wintertime. All of the trails are suitable for beginner and family outings. Some are now maintained by volunteer groomers; OWWT, BWT, SHE, Kichi Sibi.

The Hornet's Nest is groomed at least weekly and the others as time permits. Updated trail conditions are available at the snow phone; 613-837-SNOW.
