revrnd Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 RE: Kirkland Lake There will be a new Microtel beside the Hockey Heritage North building next winter. The website says it will have a pool and restaurant? Will this new motel be accessible by sleds? It's been several years since I've been in that part of town on sled. The last time in town was the middle of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrafrozen Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Yes, accessible at north end of L107/ L108 off of A110Q. It will be beside the Hockey Heritage North building across from Comfort Inn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeese Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The hotel units at Rivers Runs Resort are open. Looks like MTO and Hydro are finally finished in the area. Bar and restaurant are closed. The "A" trail runs right through the property on the east side of Sesekinika Lake. Great place to make a home base from since it's on HWY #11. Gas close by 10km south in Kenogami. Kenogami Bridge Inn has great food. We got a hold of Roy and he said to call his home # 705 642 1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you also from the Kirkland Lake area? The Resort is on the north-west end of the lake not the east. They used to have an awesome Sunday lunchtime buffet, we miss the restaurant.

Zeese Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thx guys. I live down in Hamilton. We used to own our own sleds but for the last 7 years been renting off nick in Kirkland. There's a core group of 4 sledders and this year 2 newbies are joining us. Thx for the correction (ultrafrozen) on the resort location ... NW end of lake. I know Mac sold the esso in kenogami are the new owners sled friendly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrafrozen Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm not sure about the new owners haven't been there since Ian sold. I'll have to stop in or ask around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 I seem to recall from my JR days in the KL area that there was a motel in the vicinity of the Hwy 66/112 jct'. Looking @ Google Earth it would appear that it has been torn down. Does any know what its name was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I remember it Revrnd, just can't remember the name. Gone now, it was next to, or on the location of the old OPP station, which is now gone. Looks like a mining outfit or construction company is using the old MTO building next door.

revrnd Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 If we were in KL, we'd stop @ the MNR building & pick up any mail for the camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrafrozen Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 RE: North Wye intersection (hwy 66 & north end of 112) Just East of Hwy 112, Parker's Motel was on the south side of highway 66 up high on the bank and has been torn down for at least 10 years. The hotel across the Hwy on the north side has not been in operation for years and has a large garage on the property. I used to see a well drilling truck there a while back but not lately. There was more of it along the back of the property but it was torn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrafrozen Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I asked around at the wife's Christmas party last night and was told the motel across from the Parker's Motel was called the Kirk Motel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 THANKS! I knew it was a short name like Teck. We stayed there in '79 after my summer was up @ Burt Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
