nate27 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 heading up to cochrane this friday and trying to find a place to leave truck and trailer for the weekend somewhere within a days ride to cochrane, I'm thinking some where between temiskaming and kirkland lake. on the trail map it shows roughly 300km from temiskaming to cochrane, defiantly would be a long day... any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 heading up to cochrane this friday and trying to find a place to leave truck and trailer for the weekend somewhere within a days ride to cochrane, I'm thinking some where between temiskaming and kirkland lake. on the trail map it shows roughly 300km from temiskaming to cochrane, defiantly would be a long day... any suggestions would be much appreciated. thanks By Temiskaming I assume you mean the New Liskeard area. Are you driving then riding the same day? If so, what time are you starting to ride? It is a pretty good days ride 7-8 hours through Elk Lake with fuel & lunch stops if the trails are smooth to get from from New Liskeard to Cochrane. You could see if the Quality Inn at the north end of New Liskeard would let you park in the area behind the Motel. You may have to pay them to park there if they would let you. There is also a parking lot down by the Lake in New Liskeard between the Waterfront Inn and the Marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call Extreme Tours to check hours at (705) 272-6370 They run the base camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate27 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Changed the plan a bit, anyone know where to park in Kirkland lake ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrafrozen Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Check with the new Microtel as they have a large parking area. Next would be Comfort Inn across the highway. Trail L108 goes right to the parking lots. Super 8 also has lots of parking space and trail access a block north on L105. If they are smart, they'll let you park for free to attract you to stay next time. PM me if you don't get any co-operation from the hotels.
