Gowganda Lake Camp Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 GAS in Elk Lake Just heard that the gas station in Elk Lake will be closing at 2:30 on saturdays and closed on Sundays. Not sure if they will still be offering a "call-in" for fuel.... But there is another option this year just east of the town on the "A" trail. ELK CABINS will have gas available ... Just look for their sign on the "A" trail (railbed section ) just east of Elk Lake toward Liskeard. Much needed gas stop.. Next gas north is Matachewan , East is earlton or liskeard, West is Longpoint /Gowganda. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrafrozen Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Important info. Thanks Wasn't the gas station a Yamaha Dealer also? Yes, "Elk Lake Work and Play" I think they are called.

Techdenis007 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yes, "Elk Lake Work and Play" I think they are called. Just turned from mist to snow in Earlton. Big fat flakes of joy! Bonus for you, you could do a loop after work if you truck your sled down ! Ever consider riding to work on the sled ? I'd sure think of it !!! Love the A108 and the Englehart flatlands !

Gowganda Lake Camp Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 The weather man didn't dissappoint. A good 15 - 20 cm's overnight and it is still snowing. Here is what it looked like early this morning. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sure think of it !!! Love the A108 and the Englehart flatlands ! Yes, thought about it often, Fridays I'm off at 3pm so the ride back would be in daylight at least. Still start at 7am so it's dark. We had piles of snow overnight so the trails will be great again this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure where the trail runs I see campbell lake slightly east and above grassy river and ferris lakes park is that correct? That would make an awesome loop we miss the old trail from shining tree across to metatchewan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to get up soon MM No totally different area. The L136 still has the wilderness section in the middle, but you should notice a difference this year in that section too. A little rolly but smooth.

That would make an awesome loop we miss the old trail from shining tree across to metatchewan! We all miss that loop. Up the grassy L143 was awesome...when it wasn't plowed. You are correct . The original trail from matach c106 still exists. The new section runs up the power line from the A107C . In the fall a few of the local business owners and snowmobile club members went for an atv excursion to see if it was doable for a snowmobile trail.. It is going to be a nice trail... Would be sweet if eventually could connect to Timmins and Shining tree too. I can send you a track of the trail if you want. Don't know how to post here. The group consisted of Urs from Auld Reekie's, Bruce from Golden Eagle Camp, Art from Elk Cabins , and myself.. Not only was it a productive day proving it will work for sledding, It was a good reason to go for an ATV tour in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent if you can email me the track please! jamie.attridge@gmail.com Are you saying the new trail has been groomed all around? I would love to scout that thursday if it is that would be sweet. Long time since we have been able to get riding up that way, you guys really need to be commended for getting that going again. I used to love how remote it was! GEMS trails and surrounding have been outstanding the last two weekends and the 890 miles on my sled in 4 days makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
