yamaha06 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hey guys heading oh to the south river area this weekend, either riding towards North Bay, I see nipissing is yellow on the map, is it staked? Might head up towards mattawa deep river area, not sure how the trails are holding up there. Anyone have any recommendations to stay around mattawa / deep river, or somewhere in that area.

Might head up towards mattawa deep river area, not sure how the trails are holding up there. Anyone have any recommendations to stay around mattawa / deep river, or somewhere in that area. Discovered Mattawa Golf and Ski about 10 years ago and it has been a great sledding home base, or touring 'one night stand'. Its right on the A trail east of Mattawa. Owners Mike and Brenda go out of their way to help you have the best sledding visit possible. Serving food from 8 AM (or maybe earlier, but that is my start time) until 7 or 8 PM. Lodging is at one of four well equipped two-bedroom cabins, or at the big cottage if you have a larger group. Not fancy, but not too rustic either. Lots of parking for trucks and trailers if sledding out from there. Sled on groomed trail right to the door! I am amazed how that area always has the longest season south of the Northern Corridor, many years starting before the Corridor. Have also stayed at the Valois in Mattawa, and other acceptable spots in Stonecliffe and Petawawa, but golfnski.com is my favourite. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re:Leaf Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 We had a great drive up hwy 11 today towards North Bay. We noticed fresh snow starting around the Emsdale visitors centre all the way up to North Bay. Mattawa area had about 5cm of snow last night and the trails are in very good condition.

I thought after we got by that the lights were flashing on the one sled, I then remembered seeing you're profile pic, thats cool, not sure how the heck they do that, must be one hell of a short eh, LOL Heading East around Deep River tomorrow.

yamaha06 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good meeting you guys. How was your return ride? It was nice meeting you and sled junk! The return ride was brutal, just on our way home now, made it back to South River by 6:30. The A112A was beautiful all the way up to that mine (what was the name of that again?) after that trails were terrible, really rough and then we ran into all the logging sections where they plowed it to dirt, the hydro lines were also a mess from hydro plowing them. It rained pretty much the whole day, stopped for a couple hours that was about it. The D trail near north bay, has a few big washouts with a foot of water in them. Rode the 700 to powassan for dinner at kudos, few washouts on them trails also. It was a work out in the trails with how rough they were and rocks visible everywhere, had to take our time and steer around all those. Didn't meet very many sleds today, did run into a group just as we were leaving kudos, one of the guys had run out of gas a ways back down the trail, they were on there way to North Bay. All in all we sure were happy to see the truck! All the rain has really done a number on the trails, and it is still raining steady! We may have to change plans and look at going further North for family day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
