Burwalde Woods is located between Winkler and Morden, 5 km north of the Boundary Trails Health Centre.

Info about Burwalde Woods (including a 2025 trails map).
5K of easy trails are located in forest adjacent to the main trailhead / parking lot. When skiing these trails, you are always within 1.2K of the trailhead.
Another easy 1.5K (return) trail is located on the creek beside the clubhouse.
The outstanding Creek Trail is 5K out + 5K back, starting from the main trailhead / parking lot. It is a moderate ski trail that crosses the creek several times.
Vera will be leading the main group of skiers.
Note: Phil has grooming equipment that is capable of renovating very icy trails into sugar snow trails after temps drop below freezing and stay there.
Lunch: In the clubhouse (AKA Nordic Centre).
Bring: Your name tag, lunch, cash for the donation box and to buy honey, if you wish.
