extreme600 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Nice pics Muskoka Man. Thanks for the report also. You lucky guy to be able to have 1400km on your sled already. What a start. I hope the weather doesn't get too warm. Like you said +2 is okay and will just settle all that darn snow you guys have. Still have my fingers crossed for coming up this Monday or Tuesday. Might see you out on the trails if they are good to go still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme600 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 its only drizzling a bit here so far , tues sounds better for riding ,plan your routes careful extreme ,road travel will be dicey and lakes will be toast,Where are you guys riding?seen a bunch of asshats on the d trail in gravenhurst a hour ago I am not too sure really. But, I will see what looks the best and stick with Tuesday. But, I will go up on Monday just to get a feel for what everything looks like. Was hoping to either go from 4 south of Sparrow Lake to 204 Orillia to the rail be than maybe Coldwater or Midland . Depending on how the trails look from there. If roads do get beat up and lakes are bad I won't be able to go towards Bracebridge/ Port Sydney unless I trailer there from Gravenhurst . We will play it by ear. Worse case scenario I might drop off at the old Smiths gas station in Port Sydney and ride from there (no gas there now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Edgewater Park Resort is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Comfort Inn, Huntsville is decent and reasonable. It's been a few years since we stayed there, but I can't imagine the value / level of service has changed much. Lake access only... and that was getting trickier as developments were built on vacant lots. They had a snowmobiler's rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve c Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Edgewater Park Resort is pretty good. x2 Also on Sand Lake is Silversands Resort. Trails in this area are usually in great shape as well. It is a little north of Huntsville. The Almaguin club website has links to accommodations and is good at updating their trail conditions. http://www.adsc-snow.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
