All The Way There
Rider’s Note: Halfway Haven is closed for the season as of Feb 24, 2022.
Take the ultimate ride “All The Way There”; sled from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst is a 2 to 5-day epic adventure. Yep, it’s the most confusing name for a snowmobile ride on the planet, but for good reason. You see, all die-hard sledders have either been to or heard of this very special place. A place that is Halfway between two points. Halfway between some incredible sledding that links some even more famous places like Wawa, Sault Ste. Marie, Dubreuilville, Chapleau, and Hearst. Named after Halfway Haven Lodge that is located on the D Trail ‘halfway’ between Wawa or Chapleau and Searchmont, it connects several communities and allows you to get deep into some of Algoma’s best snowmobiling.
