WeBeSleddin Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Glad to have a reason to post again on the forum. Its has been a few years as I have been "out of town" AKA no sled to ride. Now I've got a ride and an itchy throttle finger:) Hoping to make a run next week from Orillia (couch) to baysville up B. I noticed that Snowcrest has removed the old B trail through Barkway from the online Map. Is this gone for good? If so what a shame... Do people still ride it? Is trail 3 the only option? According to the interactive map, the Orillia Club has the B Trail opened from the lake to the Snowcrest junction, any ideas when the Snowcrest section of B south will open? Thanks in advance for any info... WeBeSledding... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that the first part of the trip will be smooth sailing. Thanks for the update. I love the trip up the east side of highway 11, always nice.

Yes, there are still some tracks and some still ride through there but from D&B to Lewisham is a rough ride. Trail 3 is the official alternative but it sure ain't the same pleasure. No word, yet, on when the Snowcrest section of B from the Black River north to Kahshe will be open. Hopefully really soon ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeBeSleddin Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks for the info STG. That is too bad about the old B trail/ Barkway parkway (love that name - who woulda thunk that a mellow place like barkway had a parkway). If I recall correctly, there was a section of that trail that ran through a huge red pine plantation - felt like you were in a tunnel... Very cool. Similar to the feeling you get on trail 5 after a snowfall when you run through the cedars. (BTW is 5 going to open up soon?) Went for a short ride last week, but still itching to rack up some miles... Soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
