14 snow Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I know Ultrafrozen reported that this trail didn't open last winter. I still see the trail on the 2015 TATA map. Does anyone know this winter's status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14 snow Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Update From TATA this morning: That section of trail should be open this year weather permitting. From what I know the club has full intentions of opening that trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrafrozen Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The trail will be re-routed across Larder Lake travelling east of the community of Larder Lake and will exit the lake in Kearns (east of Virginia Town). This portion of trail A110Q is located south of Hwy 66. In Kearns, travel north and cross Hwy 66 to jump back on the old portion of A110Q to continue east to the Quebec border. Signage is/will be in place. Not sure if you can see the trail on this pic but these new maps will be located in five key locations coming into the Golden Corridor Snowdrifter club area. https://www.facebook.com/GoldenCorridorSnowdrifters/photos/pb.406255092851808.-2207520000.1417819241./583210175156298/?type=1&theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whits-end Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 My favourite trail in that area headed south along the border to New Liskeard. Used to make a great 200 mile-ish day loop. Too bad, hasn't been open for a number of years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, hasn't been open for a number of years now. That was before my trail riding days but I hear it was a great ride. Some of the club guys were saying it was very difficult to open due to all the hills and swamps I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 snow Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I rode A108Q probably one of the last years it was open, it was great. A110Q is interesting in the sense the mandate has been to get trails off lakes and they are putting it back on the lake.... anyway, thanks for the info. I have ran Larder Lake from west to east as you are suggesting a few years back now. None the less, glad it will be open again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None the less, glad it will be open again Too many issues with the overland trail - abandoned Hydro transmission line (10 yrs ago) and all the bridges need replacing, bad swamps and hills also make it hard to open. An alternate trail was proposed but a lot of work needs to be done before that trail is up to sledding standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Will the groomer cross the lake Andre, or is it just staked and packed by the sleds ? Groomed would be best, but ice thickness and consistency might be an issue. I'd be leery of the narrows, make sure to cross the hump far on either side of the narrows, the open water and thinner ice are to be wary of !

Ultrafrozen Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 No grooming across the lake Denis but that doesn't mean locals won't volunteer to groom with ATVs or sleds. We have a local guy grooming from Kearns east to the Quebec border with our small drag and his own vehicle. Ice thickness will be monitored at the narrows for sure.
