1. Winter Shelters at Fundy National Park

Best for: Nature lovers who don’t want to wait ‘till summer for their park fix.

Ready for adventure? Snowshoe, cross-country ski, and fat bike trails are groomed for your winter pleasure throughout the season. Plan on staying the night, too, because there are several great options. Choose from two nicely secluded rustic cabins, the winterized oTENTiks, or even yurts in Headquarters Campground. They all have heating so your toes will be nice and toasty after a day of exploring. Or if you prefer to sleep a little closer to nature, bring your tent for winter camping in the great Canadian outdoors.

Imagine glamping in your very own geodesic dome complete with fireplace and Scandinavian-chic interior. Yep, it’s as awesome as it sounds. A snowy landscape provides all the more reason to snuggle beneath the stars, but don’t plan on hibernating too long - snowshoe and hiking trails for guests wind through the lodge’s pristine property.

3. Snowmobile-Friendly Lodges

Best for: Anyone who loves pulling up to their doorstep by snowmobile.

The accommodations are about as sled-friendly as it gets and you’re pretty much guaranteed a good time at all of them. Lodge restaurants are typically packed with riders from all over, and a friendly, jovial atmosphere is standard. Did we mention they’re also located right on the trails? If you were born to ride, these spots are for you.
