Excellent cross country skiing! I have skied all over British Columbia and the maritimes and this is hands down the most beautiful cross country skiing I have been too! Fantastic conditions, well groomed, welcoming hosts. We also enjoyed some hot cider by the fire afterwards. Would highly recommend making a trip to NHN for some cross country skiing!
Trails here are so well groomed and the maps help keep you from getting lost! Beautiful scenery!
Kind and friendly staff helped us rent equipment and gave us information on the trails and surrounding area. The trail conditions were amazing and skiing was great!

Excellent cross-country ski resort! My wife and I were complete beginners and we found ourselves getting lost in the thrill of it all, the instructors were fantastic and the views were nothing short of breathtaking!!!
It was an amazing experience cross country skiing here. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful and we were able to try both Snow shoes and Cross country skis. Trails are well maintained and offer great scenery.
