Once you arrive at Black Spruce Guides HQ

Our road will only be plowed for a short distance. Park in the area immediately to the right of the small brown garage and give us a call to let us know you've arrived. We'll pick up your gear at your vehicle in a snowmobile with a sled trailer and take it directly to your campsite, while you follow along and enjoy your snowshoe or cross country ski trip into camp. At the end of your trip we'll shuttle your gear from camp back to your vehicle as well. 

Call if you have any questions about gear!
