sledneck96 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hey Big Reg or GroomerGuy, or anyone else that might know. Is the Iris Lake trail open? Saw a "trail closed" sign this morning but wasn't sure. Is Loop 3 open? Didn't see it marked off of the Magpie. I love those trails, hope they're open.

The Groomer Guy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Irisl ake trail is closed because the club had to make some cutbacks this year and there is a Bridge there that needs some work, its ok for sleds but we need to check it out. The ATV Club grooms it with a Drag they made, they have Winter atv trails in that area and took over the trail this winter. The ATV club says Sleds are welecomed on the trail. Asnfor loop 3, we groomed it but, we did not have time to do it again...and the club is allmost out of money so we have to cut down on those trails, we want to keep the top trails in perfect shape.

St. Louis Dave Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 How are the locals getting to the Magpie? That was their favorite shorcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Groomer Guy Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The ATV club has a Drag that pull with a tracked ATV, but they find it had to do, the bunps are less bad but they are long waves lol they said it was hard to groom lol NO $@!t !!!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis Dave Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm sure you've heard about that from the locals. "It's to far to stay on the D trail, plus I might get caught without a trail permit" You're right Luc. The ATV club now knows what it is like to clean up the mess they cause. I'm sure a tracked ATV can't smooth out that trial like the groomers. They probably go through the rocky area better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledneck96 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for the info guys. I'm in Wawa right now and of course in and out of Dub everyday. I was guessing it was a budget issue. I will be heading into Dub for breakfast tomorrow morning (taking the Iris Lake trail as long as the ATV'ers are okay with it) and then on to Hornpayne and back. I have been taking the D trail into town but find it to be the longest 10km of my life, although I have seen 7 moose and quite a few lynx in the past couple days on it. Went to White River and back today, trails were pretty good. Trails from the halfway point to White River were very recently groomed and we were thankfull for it. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
