Any idea where can I park my truck and trailer for 5-6 hours. Usually I park at Sudbury Trail Plan Association yard, but trails is still not open there. Sportsman's Lodge Wilderness Resort not a option, they not allow to park if you dont have a room reserved. Thanks George still there? Maybe if you call and ask him if you can park for day and throw him 10 dollars he probabily wouldn’t mind, unless it is full of trucks and trailers for weekend. Maybe soup has another idea.

Thanks Park at the STP yard or head out past the airport and park at the skead recreation center. You can find the rec center with google maps. Let me know when your heading in, maybe I'll ride with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old post but does the sign not say "No parking in front of driveway? At least it used to, parked there last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 What parking is available around Kearney area? Looking at day ride on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of parking in this area. A lot of riders park at the Emsdale tourist info centre when you exit Hwy 11, right in Kearney you can park up at the Legion and ball park area, and the back side of the Community Centre against the tree/fences area, and Rickwards has some parking across from the polaris dealership. Rickwards is asking that parking be as close together as possible. A few riders have decided to just stop on the roads and park where trails cross main roadways. Not a nice idea, plows cant get around and its just plain rude to other vehicles. We have seen some being ticketed by the OPP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Tim Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Thinking about heading out this way for a rip, have never been on the E106 going north, I see it is yellow up to Bancroft.....any suggestions for staging, places to see/stay away from. I don't need to hear anything about any BS restrictions so save your typing skills for positive replies only Thx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 There is a parking area north side of Hwy 7 just east of Marmora. It is adjacent to the railbed. I'm not sure if it is plowed or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon600 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 When you’re on the E106 watch for the creek crossings. Most of the bridges are raised quite a bitter higher than the trail and if you hit them too fast you’ll launch. If you’re prepared for it they’re fine but the first time you hit one unprepared you’ll scare the crap out of yourself. E106 is 500’ from my place near Stirling and I’ve done the railbed way too many times into Bancroft. Once your south of 7 it’s the crossings that the farmers have from one side to another that sneak up on you. It’s a fast rip to Bancroft that’s for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 @Turbo Tim If this is your 1st trip, just watch for the road crossings. I have found over the years the Stop Ahead signs could be brushed (I've stopped & trimmed branches) for better visibility. Some of the Stop signs are a nice shade of pink. Not sure if they're still reflective @ night or not. I guess the EOTA has other priorities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon600 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 There’s a little parking lot that not many know about at station road in Bonarlaw just north of Springbrook. Not a big lot at all. We refer to this as the Bonarlaw junction. I fully suspect the stretch of trail from here to Marmora to have lots of rocks as we haven’t really got much snow at all. Usually some washout spots thru the mine too so keep an eye for. I’ll probably get on it this weekend myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Tim Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yeah I drove around looking at places to unload and I saw that, it is small for sure maybe 3-4 rigs at best. Still debating where to ride, the only issue around here is the limited parking, hate to come all this way and end up having to go somewhere else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember a lot of vacant space there when passing thru. Its only a short distance west to Anson & then north thru Bonarlaw... Also, there is a trailhead east of Campbellford where the rail trail heads east. Not sure of the road name/number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Tim Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I guess the back up plan is if Marmora is full will go to the Shell in Kaladar seems like a big lot there to stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it has been a few winters since I've ridden that far south (been thru there in the Ranger in the summer though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
