zx7rr Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 went by the beach on mary lk yesterday and saw fresh sled tracks heading out on the lake and a few ice fisherman out also. appeared solid with no slush but I would give it more time before heading out with a sled, will try to get out and drill some holes and get some accurate measurements today.

zx7rr Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 didn't get a chance to go check the ice thickness yesterday but went by the beach and was surprised at the number tracks heading across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskoka Man Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 gate is closed but a trail goes off to the side ,lots of tracks across the lake ,trails heading to baysville way are limited but rough,i did the 55 feeder trail,there is tons of snow there so one more pass and the trail should be good ,D trail from 37 up to bridge going under highway is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capster59 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 sounding good.. last week they had fencing all-around the gate so you couldn't slide past like I remember... unless this little trail is further along one way or the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybinocs Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Guys, Thanks for the info...would like to Drop in Gravenhurst, ride north Bracebridge/Huntsville, then over to Dwight/Dorset, riding in a loop back to Gravenhurst. Any suggestions from what you know is open, safe and good riding ? Can we skip the lakes yet ? Thanks in advance fellas, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I was just talkin with my buddy today and he says there's around 3.5' snow in Kearney Emsdale area!!! I'm sure most already know this, but for those who don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aar0n Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Huntsville over to Dorset...can you run the lakes yet ? Lob is a big deep and sketchy lake with lots of currents and varying ice. There is tracks from Huntsville to Dorset, but with the amount of snow on the ice I would wait another week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Huntsville over to Dorset...can you run the lakes yet ? If you are fast enough you can. Defiantly don't want to stop heard there is a fair amount of slush from the weight of snow on ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Sledder Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 4" white 4" black ice on lob Yesterday we stooped at the top of 54, South Portage on LOB. There were tracks heading out onto the lake, but again why risk a crossing on a big lake like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capster59 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Lake Vernon Staked on Saturday I think. I started accessing my place On Peacock Bay via lake. Still lots of snow and spots of slush.. but appears safe. I ran out halfway on the lake and saw the stakes all the way.. WOO HOO,,, will be nice and quick now to run down for a delicious butter tart somewhere....... Rode With Nunz Saturday and had a great day up to Kearney and back thru Port. Luckily didn't see too many yahoos...saw lots of sleds tho...hope that slows a little as more areas are opening up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
