Equipment Rentals

Kanata Nordic has a small fleet of rental ski packages, snowshoes, and headlamps. They are available to members and non-members alike, for the same fee.

Rental pick-ups must be done at the above times but you don’t have to ski then. Same-day returns are by 4:00pm that day.

The rental shop is accessed from the main Kanata Nordic entrance which is between 401 and 411 Corkstown Rd (halfway up/down the hill) and is marked on the trail map as ‘Kanata Nordic entrance’. The rental shop is located in cabin D, in front of the chalet pictured above.

DO NOT trust Google as it will direct you to the club’s mailbox on the other side of Kanata.

The rental equipment was made possible by a generous grant from the Ottawa Community Foundation.

Kanata Nordic toque

Rentals are first-come, first served. We do not take reservations unless it’s for a group (6 or more, and must be booked 48 hours in advance).

We also sell Kanata Nordic toques and neck warmers. $25 each, tax included.

Important! On weekends only members can park at this parking lot and use the trails there. But non-members can drive in to rent equipment to use elsewhere. We recommend the nearby Ottawa West Winter Trail (OWWT). Here’s a link to the OWWT trail map (scroll down).
