Question is, this stretch thru town looks like it either sidewalk or road. 

Can anyone provide some guidance or confirmation that the stretch over the locks is road, and short or road and ends up being long?

Thank you.

We are going out tmo to finish brushing the 503 and hopefully stake most of the lakes. Mississauga Lake will not be one of them. Will have to do that another day. Should see some colour soon on the ITG.

Went for a ride today up to Harcourt via Gooderham and back via E/E108. Trails were good to excellent other than the 607(fair). There is a solution for the missing link between the 607 and the 606 but do so at your own risk.. Follow the 607(from the west) until you hit the boat launch at Billings Lake(can't miss it). Hop on the lake and look for the small island to the right. Stay to the right of the island and go to the boat launch at the end of Eureka Road.(There's lots of tracks as of today). Follow Eureka Road(approx 1km) to the end and turn right on to Glamor Lake Road.  Follow until the sharp right hand turn(approx 1 km) and look to the left. There is a trail there and it will take you to the 606(rail line). Decent snow on the roads today. Would suck on a warm sunny day tho.

Thank you

H9 previously continued north east and joined Carden club trail 102. Am I correct in assuming there was a land owner dispute and the trail had to be rerouted? 

509.

Lost a great longtime landowner south of Gooderham. They are building their home now. (may have seen this in another thread). We approached Highlands East for permission to use an unopened road allowance a few months ago. Slow process. They finally approved late Fri. We are hoping to get an excavator in there early this week to create a temporary trail for this year.

503

The lakes, Mississauga and Cold, and a couple of swamps have a thick layer of snow and then a few inches of slush and then, it seems so far, that there is 9"+ of good ice underneath. We need the slush to freeze up before we can open the trail.

506 North of parking lot 2

Will not be open this year. A new bridge is needed.

At least for the sled trail.

Not sure about atvs over the summer season. 

Spend the last 2 days with a 14ton linkbelt  brushing ad moving the rock baracades. 

Brushed.  Quick grading. 

Its ready to go...

thanks

Me: "Are they grooming the old CPR railbed into Pembroke now? When I was touring the area last winter it wasn't open as a trail."

(Don't worry that's as far as I rode on the railbed, even though you could see others had ridden further) 

TSC: "yes correct. Just partially this year to supples landing. We didn’t get the bridges decked and railed in time. Hopefully next year it will be right thru town"

The railbed in question is marked in black. The 2 photos were taken where the CN railbed passes over the CPR railbed just east of Fibreboard Rd.

WARNING!

There is no reason to ride on the 'wrong' side of McFadden Rd. The snow is sufficient on both sides. This afternoon in my truck I was eastbound going up the hill by the E107/SLSR #747 intersection and had a westbound sled come over the blind hill on my side of the road. Luckily I was able to stop, otherwise the outcome could've been very bad.

I had seen the two sleds filling up a few minutes earlier in the village. Black/yellow and black orange pre-2018 XS chassis ‘doos. If these sledders sound like someone you know, tell them how lucky they are.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the ice in this area? That is the outlet of the lake and TOP E is still 2 klicks of road running once you get to the east end of Wollaston.

IMO not a great property to rent if you don't know the area.

We've never ridden this far south.  I'm a bit concerned about the weather forecast for this weekend... specifically if the trails will hold up on the west side of the loop.

thanks,

Greg

Might as well live in downtown Huntsville for all the township does for sledders. I'm pretty sure none of the councillors snowmobile...

This will result in brutal 'sledding' on the 747 trail from E107 east to the cutoff for gas.

I'm thinking this bridge was newly decked to allow sled crossings.

Over to KCC's territory ....trail between Chalk River and Deep River a gem for riders such as myself...

in an easterly direction  ....

a trail that shouldn't be missed if in the area....trail 114...

and inspired by Voice of Fire hanging at the National Gallery in Ottawa for 2 million dollars or more....

here is Voice of Snow.....priceless....

(hmmm going to have to talk to them about installing matching stakes either side of the trail....kind of throws things off...)

Revised version...

Getting a late start today...the breakfast at the hotel starts at 7 am (hmmmmphh more like brunch time if you ask me) and the lure of the waffle machine is overwhelming....more later.

Thanks

Crystal Images Studio in Harcourt is the vendor that should be contacted to produce the signage. The cost of the signage is between the advertiser(s) and the vendor. The club installs the signage.

For mor info please PM me.

Two long heavy truck tire ruts. Had to be 2-3" wide and a couple feet deep.

Could not stay on trail to get around and almost ended up getting stuck.

Heads up!!!

Mods-if I posted in the wrong section please re-locate.

and the trail system across the street and in the area turning green on Wednesday of the week...

went on a no particular destination in mind tour toward Alexandria, Moose Creek, Monk Town and a bunch of other places which for some reason can't be seen on the Integrated Trail Map. First a commemorative picture of the first time I have had to navigate a traffic circle on a snowmobile to cross the road to the trail...

Coming back put down the rouskiis as about 3/4 of the circle was required to make my desired exit.....got cut off by woman in Dodge Neon with cell phone to her ear FFS...the more it stays the same the less it changes...............

A few trail pictures.....blustery snow for most of the day so contrast not so good....mid afternoon was difficult to ascertain trail features...

Historic village at eastern end of trail along the St. Lawrence....a lot of communities flooded to create the St. Lawrence Seaway...

Thought this bridge was a goner until I saw the steel frame underneath...

Trail free loaders....no pass..............

Lots of varied scenary in the area and grooming and particularly signage is top notch in this area - thanks to all involved getting it going.

After a day on the trails I can recommend (although without the any discounts or special considerations - unlike some) the

Sol De Acapulco Restaurante in nearby Ingleside.....

Pics from web site - https://soldeacapulco.vpweb.ca/

get a table in front of the open wood stove.

With the amount of snow here and a good base, I am betting that the trails should survive the upcoming warm weather.
