jrhz06 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Just got back from a few weeks down East. Had a great time visiting all the tourist traps. Not many people there this time of year. While driving I noticed lots of trails so I did a bit of research and found that there are a ton of sled trails in a very sled friendly province. Got me thinking of possibly doing a week long trip around the province. So, the question is, has anyone on here been to NB sledding? If yes, how was it for accommodations, trail conditions, signage, snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Just got back from a few weeks down East. Had a great time visiting all the tourist traps. Not many people there this time of year. While driving I noticed lots of trails so I did a bit of research and found that there are a ton of sled trails in a very sled friendly province. Got me thinking of possibly doing a week long trip around the province. So, the question is, has anyone on here been to NB sledding? If yes, how was it for accommodations, trail conditions, signage, snow? New Brunswick was on my radar this year for a week long trip - unfortunately their weather was the same as Ontario for the most part - no snow. Things did pick up later in the year though. Here is the web site for their association: http://www.nbfsc.com/html/main.html The N.B. trail conditions map http://nbfsc.evouala.com/trail_map/# is not as concise as the OFSC map as you can see - however does denote the various services on trails. A paper map is easily attainable with an email to the headquarters in Woodstock. You would probably want to concentrate on the northern part of the province - having lived in F'ton and Saint John in the past, can tell you weather in that area can be negatively affected (for sledders) by warm ocean currents. There is plenty of accomodation with direct access to trails. Some research through the various snowmobiling magazines etc. will provide trip info - the interprid sledder comes up on a google search - maybe he's getting a few bucks from N.B. sledding as well. My barber raves about Danny's in Bathurst. Most of my research bookmarks are on my camp computer so not available, but here's a few to get you started: Except for about a 20 minute stretch just north of New Brunswick, it is four lane highway from southern Ontario all the way N.B. , so unless you're socked in by a storm, driving is good. (did get stuck one year in St. Jean Port Joli, Quebec, for 4 days once around Xmas time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 We've ridden in Northern New Brunswick a couple of times. Had planned to do a big loop to the south the second time we went but the weather in the south was to mild and rain. As Slomo has said, the south part can be iffy. We compared it to Ontario. Once you get 2-3 hours north of the major cities the weather is more sled friendly. Trails were good but I can't see there being a week of riding in the northern part if you like riding 3-400 km. per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhz06 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Heres a few pics. The first couple are Hopewell Rocks in the Bay of Fundy. Tide that day was 44". Second is the camp ground at Seal Cove. This is about as busy as we found at most camp grounds. Third is why they call it seal cove. Little guy wasn't very old. Just like a happy puppy.

jrhz06 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thanks for the replys. WD, It's about a 12 hr drive to Edmunston so probably similar to going to the Gaspe. Of course you're invited, even if you ride a Polaris. Slomo, thanks for the info and links. PLC, the Boss likes days in the 200-250 km range so a week in the northern region may work.
