Totally agree. Haliburton is my happy place. Trails and lakes, fantastic mix, right from my house. Have a 4 place enclosed trailer that has only been used for storing lumber for the last 10 years.

We can't fix stupid, we all sure as hell have to pay for it.

Actual reasons unknown...

Words is that HCSA has told their groomers that all grooming activity ends tonight - Mar. 07.

Bought a 136" pre-installed-studded ice ripper type track way back when they first came to market... hated it. I was disappointed with the lack of penetration compared to a good stud. Also found the points to wear and dull down way ahead of the life of the track. The track itself was a thumper. Worst out of balance track I have ever encountered. I took the loss and bought a new track and went back to studs - never looked back. As previously mentioned here about Lake Simcoe... Before moving to Haliburton, I used to live near Queensville and did all of my sledding around Cooks Bay / Holland River. You learn VERY quickly about the reasons for studding. Also mentioned here was the nightmare of making it 3/4 the way up an icy hill and rolling backwards - nothing more needed to say about that ! To all the guys who have modded their turbos well past the 200 hp mark and no studs ? gotta laugh at that. However, this topic comes up in this forum EVERY year and is about as pointless as the other annual laugh fests : What's the best oil ? What's the best belt ? What's the best sled ? Hand signals ad infinitum Have at it.

... not enough

Feb 22/21 - Early Morning - Haliburton Lake Northbound Days like this make you happy to have a stake line.

You CAN'T tell exactly what happened, but you CAN tell that it didn't have to happen.

Early start... Lord knows, there are lots of problems and worries to think about... but not for the next few hours. I give thanks for every ride.

Early Morning Sun... Red Pine Lake

Camp Northland, whose property the trail ran through to Haliburton Lake Rd., had issues with the OFSC insurance policy for landowners. They pulled the land use agreement until there were improvements made to the policy, and here we are... Same situation existed at Camp Towhee ( B Trail near West Guilford ) The trail was almost closed until they found that B trail was old "Legacy" trail and belonged to the County. It was a "close" call.

FWIW, Kennissis, Redstone firmed up pretty good as of today ( Feb 1 ) A little slush in the middle of Big Hawk and down at the Marina end of Kennissis, nothing major. Hopefully Haliburton Lake will come in soon.

No. I have only crossed Little Hawk to the Totem, and just a 1/4 mile into Big Hawk. Looked pretty good, but my thinking was to give it all another couple of really cold days...

GLOVES FOUND ... B Trail - between Hwy 118 and Trail 8 Junction. 1 pair gloves, trail maps and chocolate bar. Picked up and wedged in tree. Today - Jan 28 @ 11:30 am. Cheers !
