Pembina Drift Busters

The Pembina Drift Busters Snowmobile Club has developed a system of trails north of Long Island Lake which can be enjoyed on their own or utilized to access the Trans Canada Trail system. The Long Island Lake Trails consist of 3 loops referred to as Main, West, and North. The Main loop is 40 kilometers in length and has the main cabin on it. The West loop is accessed directly across Highway 801 from the staging area and is about 30 kilometers in length. It takes you around Bear Lake and past the Ducks Unlimited Dam. The last one is the North loop which is accessed where the Main loop intersects with Highway 663 (#9). It is 80 kilometers long and takes you across Highway 663 around Cross Lake Provincial Park and up to the second cabin on the trail system. This loop also allows you access to the Trans Canada Trail System that would take you west to Swan Hills and east to Athabasca.

The Long Island Lake Trails provide an enjoyable and scenic trail ride for snowmobilers of all skill levels. The trails have only moderately challenging sections however, they do intersect many other unmarked trails for the more adventurous rider to explore.

A permanent staging area is provided. Please ensure that you leave your vehicle in such a manner so other users can access the area as well.

All snowmobile trail systems are the result of many hours of volunteer work and effort by club members. The trails are regularly cleared of fallen trees and litter. Please consider joining a club in your area to aid in the maintenance of existing trails and the development of future trails.
