Dirtbag Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Just wondering what people think about whether Lake Muskoka will ever be safe this year, and no I'm not talking about Gravenhurst Bay. Curious as we run out of Mortimers Point and haven't even been out on the bay in front of our place yet. We usually are the first ones to run from Mortimers Marina up to North Bay on Lake Muskoka, but we haven't even done that yet. I always like running across the lake to East Bay, then past Walkers Point community center and back onto the lake near Campbells, but I am worried we won't be able to do that this year at all, which kinda leaves us landlocked. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonut Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 as of last weekend, there was a solid 2, yes two inches of ice of Montcalm point and 2 below Miller Island. Not looking good unless the next 2 weeks stay cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonut Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hey apexGT, where do you ride out of? Our gang is out of Pine Grove on Pine lake and a buddy is just north of the NewArk. As for the lake, people were out all over the bottom half this weekend. 12" is what a fisherman told me on the main part of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you guys are close to me. I'm out of east bay..Pretty close to where the community center trail exits onto Lake Muskoka. Thats a pretty fun lil marsh when its frozen..Can be a lil dicey when its not..lol I live in North BAy right now and usually sled out of here. Was down on the weekend taking the nieces and nephew for a ride..Its kind of fun puttering around with 2 kids on a sled..Makes me appreciate getting back on the apex solo..

Doonut Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Geez, I guess I should feel sorry for ya being that close to Twible My buddys place is about 3 minutes from the other end of the Community center trail. I ride by it often. Hopint to run out that trail and head to North bay in a week or so. Hope the ice up there is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powassen has very little snow. Lots of bare spots. The ice on Lake Nip has been good for a few months now though..I might be back in muskoka for some spring riding..Love the water hop onto the ice..small world huh..

Speaking of small, Rob was at my shop yesterday for service on his Jeep and ya, I know Blake. He was here a couple of weeks ago picking up a power head for Rob and I was chatting with him last weekend at Boston Pizza. Maybe you should head down for mxzx121's lake party on the 8th. Usually fun times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Steve, I might try to run east bay to north bay and over to Lake Joe and Rosseau this weekend. I wanna check the conditions and see if a OC.com lake tour is doable. maybe go check on the ice caves on Rosseau too. Its looking like we are going to have a banner March Lake riding year Fingers crossed it stays cold for another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
