Abstract

Working within the framework of bioregional theory, the paper presents an overview of the development of ski trails in Haliburton County, and trails in general, looking at the history of such trails, their maintenance, costs, and some of the problems that develop between people and the environment with respect to trails construction. Pertinent physical, social, and biological factors important in the planning process of trails are presented.

The expansion and development of the Nordic Trail system and its promotion within the community is detailed along with the work of the Nordic Trails Association in cooperative efforts with local business. Relationships with the Frost Centre and the Snowmobile Association are outlined. Throughout the paper, suggestions are put forward for improved management of this valuable community resource as well as proposed topics for future research.
