Puggz Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The Mrs and I are heading to Sudbury this weekend and I like the idea of leaving early Monday morning and experiencing some of the trails north of parry sound on our way back to civilization :).. Looking for an area with spectacular scenery (french river?); about a 4 hour trip with access off hwy 69. Thoughts? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Carling 400 trails? Northern Parry Sound area - I think you can park and launch at the Esso station in Nobel - might want to check that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Take a look where Pikes Peek is located, you may be able to hit that on a loop. If I remember it is north of lorimer lake. Nice lookout of the area. You would have to do a search online for exact location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nunz Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Wolf Mountain lookout in Sudbury is beautiful!! Reevester took me to Pikes Peak a couple of years ago and it was really nice but I have no idea of where exactly it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2strokemerc Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 There is two lookouts in the area. Old Baldy and Pikes peak. We were riding in the area last Friday, being lead around by a local. I can't tell you how to get to either but I do know they are within 10 minutes of Dunchurch and you best have studs if you're going to get up Pikes peak. Lots of ice under the snow.

WinderFab Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Pikes peak is on the 805 like snowman is showing. Not sure where Old Baldy is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash 800 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just to clarify this a little bit. First I have a cottage in the area so I'm in this area quite a bit. So Bauldy's is the one that is actually on the 805 trail BUT to get up it you have to take a short trail through a pass and go up the backside of the hill to get on top of it. For Pikes Peak you have to actually go off the 805 trail about 5 minutes to get to it. When travelling south on the 805 (and if you happen to know) where bauldy's is the next body of water is where the turnoff is for Pikes peak. There is almost always sled tracks going off to the right at a point on the waterway. Both are very hard to explain but really cool places for a stop. If your familiar with the small ice caves near the north end of 805 and your travelling north you just missed both of them. If your heading south on 805 and see the ice cave on your left then bauldys is the next body of water and then pikes peak is just after that. There is no signage for either. After re-reading this I don't think I clarified a damn thing other than the fact I know where they are lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur - trail 805 is near my camp, I have been to both look outs, but now I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
