Butter Pot Provincial Park is operated by Avalon Nordic on weekends during the winter. Check out our ongoing mapping initiative below! You can also view these maps on the Avenza app.
There is a day use fee of $15 ($25 per family) which you can purchase on Zone4 here.
Instead of day passes, why not buy a Butter Pot Season Pass when you register at our Winter Programs site on Zone 4!
Please only use the trails if you are on skis or snowshoes. Walking with boots or shoes leads to holes in the trails, and undermines the work of our volunteer groomers.
All use of Butter Pot Park for winter activities is at your own risk. Please scroll down and read the Cross Country Responsibility Code so we can ensure everybody is skiing responsibly.
There are over 15 km of groomed trails for classic or skate skiing plus snowshoe trails.
Our mapping initiative! A recommended cell phone app that will display your location on the ski map is “Avenza Maps”. This is a free app that will allow up to three of your own custom maps to be loaded. There are also many other maps from the online Avenza “store” that are also available. Some of those maps are free, others require payment.
With Avenza installed on your phone, download the two new Butter Pot trail maps linked below. One at a time, hold down on the map to select it, then click on the "upload" icon to to share the map to the Avenza Maps app. Open the Avenza app, then look for a list of your maps in the "My Maps" start page. Tap on the map of choice to view.
Where are you? Look for the dot! The map is georeferenced and your phone's GPS will calculate where you are. Tip: When out of cell tower range, or when cell service is weak, it is advisable to set your phone to “airplane” mode to greatly conserve battery power. The GPS will still run in airplane mode and indicate your position on the maps.
If that is more tech than you want to navigate, you can also simply print the linked maps you put them in your pocket!
