Muskoka Man Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 no bikes inside Bigwind Provincial boundrys ,only sleds in winter,has been that way for years,large signs on both entry points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddszr600 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 No signage when we were there regarding bikes, we have accessed from Pine Springs or Echo Lake with no issues, see both truck and atv traffic on either end, hunt camps along the way , one of our riders lives beside the park. We did not do it this year as a bike exploded on 118, not saying it isn't so but no indication for us. People on here always think the worst and jump on no permit, trespass, etc., take the time to ask a question first maybe, do you think I would have posted pic.s of an area if I thought I was not supposed to be there??

Muskoka Man Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Im with you Todd,we have been riding that area for years and no one gives it a moments thought,we also come in from pine springs and black river rd ,it only really came to my attention when i joined haliburton ATV club and they treat it as taboo and there system goes around this little stretch,MNR also posted no camping signs at campsites there once it became a official provincial park,to bad as there is some awsome camping in there,MNR is a giant hinderance to all taxpayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 At some point, they need to realize that we are all creature of nature. So preserving nature is good, but enjoying and embracing nature is difficult when we are restricted from accessing it. The MNR staff must be computer gamers and don't feel the need to leave the controller and screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogirl69 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Here's some recent pics of the crossing on the Baysville route. What did the signs say before you crossed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLL Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The signs say something to the effect of "bridge unsafe do not cross"Summer use of the area is permitted according to local OPP Iv'e spoken with. Only ATV traffic is prohibited in the park. Blue plate vehicles such as the trucks & SUVs that pull in boats to fish the lakes or riders of plated dual sport bikes are allowed with the only prohibited signage being for ATVs at Black River Rd.Sorry about the upside down pics.Heres what the bridge looked like last year.

HLL Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 so it needed a deck so they took it out From what I could tell last season thats all it would have needed. The bridge is still there next to the crossing where it has been tossed aside in the bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddszr600 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Awesome, thanks for the update. are you looking north in the pic.s?, looks crossable on a bike(2 wheels) maybe, but sometime pic.s are deceiving . I cant believe they just threw it in the bush to rot, good old mnr....

Easily crossable on a bike (2 wheels) I agree that the button pushers at the mnr are a little bit... Haha Thanks for the welcome Leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I was biking south of Baysville today and saw some improvements being made to the forest access road that forms part of OFSC trails D101B and 47. For a few kilometres, ditches were being widened on both sides of the road, and lots of new culverts were being installed. The yellow circle shows the approximate area being upgraded. Not sure if this will have any impact on winter use of the routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they're addicted to spending taxpayers' money, they're as bad as crack whore on Gerrard St. trying to make enough to buy another rock. I bet developers would love to get their hands on the Province's Crown Land & provincial park system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
