02Sled Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Oh come on, the snow is on the line not your health! All kidding aside, I had I feeling that was the case. I'm thinking the parking is beside the home hardware in that empty lot in mactier, but not sure if there's any closer parking available... Not sure where you would park in MacTier. A little closer to Parry Sound on Lake Joseph Road is Memories of Muskoka. The trail runs across the bottom end of their parking lot. as usual always ask them though.

SuperG Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes but an even bigger better lot with lots of parking is the lighthouse restaurant just down from memories half a kilometre. BlakeG parked there with no issues. You just cross lake Joseph Rd an your on the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baylaker Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ok thanks guys....so it is ok to park in that parking lot beside home hardware? I'd like to travel up the C trail out of mactier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Another spot is H&H Resort just outside of MacTier right on the C trail. I'm not sure what the signage is like in MacTier this year but last year it was less than stellar. It was easy to get turned around in town and we met a number of people that were "lost" trying to navigate "in town" during the poker run. You come to what looks like an intersection without any signage only to find that what looks like a trail actually runs to somebodies house or a road in town where locals use it as a route to get to the trail. Last year they had small little 8.5X11 printed pages on the trail saying you are here but it wasn't comprehensive it was a small snipit of the trail and didn't show where it ran or connected to. Not trying to really knock the volunteers. There is always something that can be better in any club. On the positive side their trail conditions at the time were outstanding. H&H has lots of parking, gas and a restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildbill Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Bill which direction would you head today for the nicest ride. With last nights wind there will be snow drifts on the Seguin we cannot get a groomer on it until this afternoon . Most of the way into town was groomed on our end ( the tucker will not do two hills in the final little bit) Carling came into town. I think that the 400 loops are likely ok . There will be a groomer working on the Mountain trail today so please steer clear of that so that he can get that open without incident . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
