thetorches Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Has anyone been out in this area. Closest open trail to me. Got a new, old sled at the end of last season. Just want to get out and see how it runs. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've never sledded in the area, but driven through and stayed many times. I would assume the trails would be mostly private lands and fields, but I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 i think that section is mostly old rail bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorches Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I was just wondering if anyone had been on these trails and could tell me what condition they are in. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irv Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was just wondering if anyone had been on these trails and could tell me what condition they are in. Thanks. In the Ontario section of freedomsledder.com there is some info about the trails that way that look and sound promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That is my northern riding area when I'm not riding the county. My dad lives next to those trails, just texted him. He said it's ice with a few inches of snow on it. Couldn't believe they where listed as open.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Trail report from my dad. Close to a foot fell at his place over night. So if they get this packed down on the frozen base they have. Could make for a nice ride. Don't be surprised if you see Prince Edward County trails open up this weekend as well. They got slammed last week with snow squals and again last, and it's still falling.

meCNE Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Really looking for a place to ride this weekend . Was eying up Kinmount but Madoc / Mamora is much closer to me in Brighton. Dropped you a PM therorches @Dave where is a good spot to park if riding in the County? Mike Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Mike when I ride the county I normally park in Wellington at the arena. The railbed runs right next to it, and it's a huge lot that has lots of room for you. I use to live in Brighton down on Harbour street. Use to just run across the bay to the canal road and in to the county from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran cross country with him, and his now wife. No Brothers , just an older sister and grew up in Colborne .. I was a shop guy , Welding , machine , auto .. etc etc .. You might remember my wife she was more academic than I was Cindie Rusk . Rode Madoc and north yesterday , wasn't that great .. biggest issue is there is now base . But got to ride for a couple hours at least and try out the sled .. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
