Did the *new* Wakefield Loop today. Grooming and conditioned were perfect. Though a colder day than we have had in a while, there was no wind in the forest and the sun was lovely. This *new* loop puts you onto trail #51 around to #55 and Taylor Lake with the new parking lot P20. A fun extension, but poorly signed so it took a while to figure out how to get to the extension. Also note, this new loop clocks in around 30kms versus 21kms in the past.

Gatineau Park is ski paradise! The network of ski trails offer machine groomed skate skiing and classic skiing as well as little groomed backcountry trails. Multiple access points allow skiers to access a variety of terrain and scenery.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
