About Skiing in the Kanata Area..
The Kanata Nordic ski club maintains trails at the YM-YWCA Bonnenfant Outdoor Centre located in rural Kanata at 1620 Sixth Line Road. The trails wind through 120 acres of the Y property and the adjacent Riverfront Park, owned by the City of Ottawa. Parking is at the entrance to the Bonnenfant Centre. There are 5 kms of skating and classic trails, at beginner and intermediate levels. The club tracksets the trails after each significant snowfall and just prior to our Saturday lessons during the Jackrabbit program (usually January through March). Kanata Nordic also helps maintain NCC Greenbelt trails in the west-end of Ottawa during the winter.
Currently Kanata Nordic doesn't have a system in place to buy a day pass or pay a trail fee. We encourage those that wish to support our trail grooming, operating expenses and trail improvements in the future, to purchase a family or individual membership. Simply go to Kanata Nordic's registration page and register on-line without selecting any programs.
