Big Reg Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 the F trail will remain open, the re route was packed last week and they calling for 10 to 15 cm of snow Tuesday. Dog lake is safe where we have marker but I don't know about the other part of it. Wawa lake was good when I was on it last Thursday. When are you going to be here? where are you staying?

Another Phase Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Any word from Ernie regarding if he will be open the week of Mar. 24 - 28 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleddog Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Dog Lk is marked from the East end to the "D" get off. Halfway across the lake, when the stakes turn toward the north, there are smaller stakes that guide you past the first island on your left. Once past the island, ride in a straight line to the southwest end of Dog Lk. Once there, you'll see a rabbit hole sized portage across 1 1/2 miles of land til you pop out on Manitowik Lk. I'd suggest staying right down the middle, heading toward the narrows. Once thru the narrows, head toward the fishing shacks at the other end. Just past them there are poles to guide you off the lake and onto the trail to Hawk Junction. Manitowik's water level had dropped, causing water to come up onto the edges and creating slush. It made my guys nervous as it was getting dark, that's why I'd suggest the middle. Rivers and streams don't flow into the middle, just the edges. My 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidooboy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 reg, not sure if we are comming, no plans where to stay at this time. i thought i was getting monday off, and i cant. so, we are not sure if it is worth all the gas to drive up to ride for a day and a half. i really wanted to make to ernies this year and run manitouwak lake. i like that run when the slush isnt too bad. i'll know more later tonight or tomorrow. ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
