white dragon Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 don't believe there is enough snow that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgooding Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 say limited, but there is a bit of road running and there wont be any snow-covered roads. I would go somewhere else more east, maybe haliburton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerx Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 How about sled freindly motels close to the trail in Haliburton?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerx Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Anyone stayed at the Silver Maple motel? Any good restaurants or bars close by for after sledding?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swo-man Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 When I stayed there about 4 years ago it was good. Clean, everything worked and reasonably priced. Gas next door, trail right across the road and sled friendly owners. McKecks is good spot and not too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go up to Whitney if the trails are good enough. Go through Algonquin park. Be there before 6 though for gas and before 3 on sundays for gas. There is a restaurant called the mad-musher. Or you can go to bancroft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgpound Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry I can't be more help but always had a hell of a time in Orillia! Never had good luck up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperules700 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Anyone stayed at the Silver Maple motel? Any good restaurants or bars close by for after sledding?? Lots of sleds in there, whenever I go by ehen traiks are Open. Amercians always seem to stay there too. They have a small restaurant too, on the end of the motel now. Food is pricey but decent. I like the chinesse place near the donut shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Sorry I can't be more help but always had a hell of a time in Orillia! Never had good luck up there. The Orillia club has made great strides in the past few years. My only issue in that area is the 'mess' at Hwy 400 and 12. Many of us recall the ease of going through the tunnel to the Highwayman Inn. Walmart (old location) screwed that up; new homes to the west also forced us to go around. Not sure if it's legal, but see many scraping across the hwy 12 bridge, over Hwy 400. Seems like the easiest way to get across to the Highwayman Inn side of things.

ontariof7 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Orillia is a great spot to ride from. You can ride in any direction on the compass and have a great day. In fact, many of my rides start from orillia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckinn Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 What are your thoughts on renting a luxury Muskoka cottage on Kahshe Lake, 2 miles off of hwy 11 south of Gravenhurst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Scary! Sounds close to Housey's Rapids. Dangerous territory, especially for sheep!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariof7 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 When simcoe freezes it opens up your options to get to orillia. You can ride from lagoon city or even here in pefferlaw, staying on the lake at the peninsula resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
