sledjunk Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bbakernbay, is there a closer gas station to the Dinner Bell than North Bay? There is gas in Astorville and also, with a little road scratching, at the Esso Station in Rutherglen. You need to get off Talon Lake at the boat launch and follow the road to Hwy 17. Maybe Brian can explain it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Gas is an issue in the area. If you are trailering, there is an Esso station on Highway 17 about 8 kms east of Dinner Bell. Also Home Hardware, groceries, beer & liquor at Gagne's. Open 7 days a week. Can sled to it but not recommended from Dinner Bell/Cedar Gables, also reachable by coming up Talon Lake Road but also not recommended, except in an emergency. Nearest gas is at The Portage or Mr. Gas where D crosses Highway 17 off Trout Lake in North Bay. Redbridge General Store open 7 days a week but no premium gas. Just off NB300 on Songis Road at Highway 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The Esso is the one I was thinking of. We went there when my son blew his track on our RAP tour a few years ago. It wasn't bad to get to at that time as the roads were snow covered. You do have to cross Hwy 17, but it works, as Brian says, in an emergency.

whits-end Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 To me, one of the easiest gas stations to access is the Crevier on Lake Nosbonsing. The stakes take you right there. The only issue we have had is they sometimes sell out of premium on busy week-ends. But I notice no one seems to recommend them, so is there a problem? Are they not supporters? If not, why is it staked to their door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Cedar Gables was booked and I ended up staying at the Dinner Bell last night. I filled up @ the Portage this morning...pricy, but convenient. Did a loop today and battled some cooling issues, but that subsided at the end of the day due to the temp increase...left at -20, returned to +2 degrees. Came across a downed tree south of Turtle Lake that a guy just finished chopping. He said he also grooms these trails. Great trails. Thanks for the info...I do remember the gas station in Astorville from a previous visit, but wondered if it closed and that was why it wasn't on the map.

Viperules700 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 One night we got lost and no one was answering the phone at the bell. Called the lady at cedar and she gave me directions on how to find the trail off of nobosing (no stakes yet, trail ended at the 3 way too in middle of the bay) stopped in for a bite to end a few beers before heading back to the dinner bell. Would stay there in a heart beat and just go over to the bell for odd meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 yukon approved? must have good beer fridge The fact that they are a bed and breakfast and they offered to cook me a Prime rib dinner to come back to after a loop to Mattawa was the selling point for me. Great hosts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pembroke Stratos 285XL Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sounds good Muskoka Man. How were the ATV trails? Where did you go? Are you able to leave right from Cedar Gables on your ATV's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
