Taken in Nisbet near the remains of an old log pioneer homestead, likely from the 18th century.
Where do we ride?
We ride primarily in Nisbet Forest , known in the early teens about a hundred years ago as the Pines Forest Reserve Snowmobiling in and around No Rock Nisbet Forest is all about snowmobiling in one of the most diversified areas in the World! Nisbet Forest is formulated from a base of rolling sand dunes, which are covered in a variety of trees predominately birch and evergreen.
Nothing in the world like riding Saskatchewan's dry powder in the forest!
We have endless snowmobiling opportunities that we tend to take for granted. In Saskatchewan some destinations do have groomed trails (thousands of Kilometers of them across Saskatchewan). But Snocruise specializes in wilderness Cross Country Riding TOURS by pulling off the route 66 groomed trail near the town of Ducklake, then heading thru and around Nisbet Forest. There is no better way to see the country side and the tours highlights and features are based on a theme or interest that YOU have SELECTED! We're not going to find ourselves boxed into some trail that goes on for 5 to 6 hours through a dense forest, without a change of scenery! They say variety is the spice of life, and nothing could be more true to sledd'in in No-Rock Nisbet, or for you Folks with a Historical Interest we'll call it No-Rock Pines Reserve! There's nothing like popping off of a forest trail just to find a pristine rolling meadow in front of you, after that a small lake connected to one of the Saskatchewan River valleys. The Nisbet Forest area is a DIVERSIFIED countryside. The Forest Fringe area surrounding Nisbet is loaded with a phenomenal mix of rolling prairie, cereal crop production farm land, dotted with remote log cabins, old historical homesteads including historical trails still in use since the 1700's and 1800's fur trade days. Abandoned vintage highways, abandoned and pulled up railways, logging roads and cut lines connect to small lakes and trails bordering meadows, pastures, cultivated farm land and many rivers including the three largest in Saskatchewan! (get out your map and get informed!.... most locals can only name two!) Be assured that if you are on one of our tours, you will be riding a snowmobile specifically suited for this variety of riding conditions.
Our sleds are agile lightweight easy to handle
machines ideal for the many different types of conditions you are about to
encounter. On top of that you will be riding equipment that is all
compatible with each other. In other words "we're not taking you
on a hunting trip where some of you find yourselves equipped with elephant
guns, while the rest are armed with B B guns!" This is perfect for
group settings where the various levels of experience , and those
simple basics, mean that the equipment will work in your favor. Don't
feel cheated just because our sleds are 500cc models, they are not just any
500! Our sleds are all liquid cooled models with 80 to 105HP, with is
double the horse power of most family sleds which are fan air cooled. Just be thank full that
you are here in Saskatchewan where the weather is
your friend and you only get bogged down or stuck if you choose to!
We pride ourselves maintaining a fleet of WARM,
RELIABLE SMOOTH RIDING snowmobiles. We
look after our equipment and we believe that it's the finer details that
separates our equipment from the rest.
We can help with both full and self guided wilderness outpost excursions/resort suggestions. resort suggestions

SNOCRUISE OFFERS CUSTOM TOURS WITH A VARIETY OF OPTIONS:
You could say that SNOCRUISE'S tours are all custom. We customize them for a number of reasons. First we start with YOU the customer, from here we sit down and discuss all the options available to us, so we can help YOU achieve the adventure of your life time. We adjust to allow for the weather, pick lunch stops, whether it's a cafe in a small town near the forest, or BBQ'in "back in the bush" roughing it!
- 1 DAY NISBET FOREST CROSS COUNTRY TOURS
In a radius of approximately one hour from Saskatoon SNOCRUISE supplies everything including return ground transportation. We'll make the Nisbet Forest the hub of our snowmobile adventures , the Geology of the area explains why we ride there, there's a good reason we like to call it NO ROCK NISBET. It's incidental that this area is loaded with History, the history of the North-West Rebellion, a series of battles that occurred here.
- Short CORPORATE RIDE n' LUNCH OPTIONS
Our corporate Ride n' Lunch option is working nicely for us. Do you have a conference or meetings in Saskatoon? Do you have just enough time to go for a Ride n' Lunch? This option has filled our customers request for a package that is both economical and accessible from the City of Saskatoon. We supply a snowmobile experience in short order that is otherwise unavailable in Saskatchewan. We ride the Route 66 Groomed trail that has a route from Saskatoon to Ducklake.
- 1 DAY NISBET FOREST CROSS COUNTRY TOURS
Safety is our highest priority, and our rides are tailored
to individual needs. The potential to include other activities even exists
depending on time constrains, if you have the time to experience an
overnighter we can accommodate you! We could even arrange for a couple ends
of Curling....(a game played on flat ice with round granite looking rocks
with handles protruding!) Some people like to include a historic touch
riding the original Carlton Trail to Fort Carlton for another
photo opp! We unload near Duck Lake and proceed thru the forest
stopping once in a while to check the fit and adjustment of your gear and
your snowmobile.
The trails progress slowly into rolling
fields allowing anyone to "acquire a feel" for operating a snowmobile.
With in a few kilometers we take a heading N NW of Ducklake
and crisscross marked and unmarked wilderness trails through NISBET FOREST.
Once we meet and get a sense of your
abilities and adventure we encourage you to flex your limbs and hang on!
It's both a privilege and a heck of an experience to ride in 95,000 acres of
prime forest adjacent to both the North and South Saskatchewan River
valleys. Canyons and hundreds of Km's of trails offer riding and scenery for all levels. Newcomers to
Saskatchewan will discover they can make there own TRACKS, a phenomena not
available to snowmobilers elsewhere! Image riding off the official groomed
trail, making your own tracks for virtually the whole day! Snocruise's
popular one day cross-country rides are through Nisbet Forest which is
surrounded by Saskatchewan river valleys and 100's of miles of trails. The
routes are endless, no 2 tours are alike! Look at some examples as we get
them posted!
