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) Lot we were at is just north of there. It was posted on facebook also. Thought they meant same lot as you. Will check if I go there again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Carlyon and Division road lot.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grover_yyz Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The trail map shows parking in south end of Peterborough. I go on Google Maps to street view and I don't see any type of lot to park in. Has anyone parked there before? I would like to try parking there once the trails open up more so I can travel further east on a day ride. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app shows parking on Technology Drive. Another guy confirmed there is parking there. Says its a small lot. Should be good during the week, but have to get there early on weekends. Close to the 115. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry I parked on Technology Drive in Peterborough today. Lot was plowed. There is enough parking for 10-15 rigs, depending on how they park. Its right on trail. We went into Hastings to Stony Lake and back. There is no sign to show you where to turn to get on trail 569-C to 569-N that goes north. You turn left at Settlers Line. It is 15-16 kms from parking lot. Rail line was in great shape. The 569 trails through the fields were good, some low snow in woods. The 569-N trail is fun. Lots of fields bit of woods. Trail into Stony Lake past the Norwood cutoff are really twisty. In good shape though. Dummer Lake is staked. 192 kms. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were the fields, any plowed? I found taking 569S towards Keene & Hiawatha last winter, takes you across some plowed fields that needed a touch more snow.

revrnd Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If you are parking at the Paudash Trail Blazers clubhouse, do not block the pylons. The groomers need to be able to get thru. As most of you know there is a staging area on Dyno Road just off Highway 28 with easy access to trail 617 (and TOP). There is also a spot just past the clubhouse large enough for 3 rigs if people park properly. Some of you may have already seen vehicles parked here beside TOP E. The trail access is not the part to the right of the truck. TOP E turns off the forest access road and then goes thru the hardwoods to intersect with the clubhouse spur trail.

Yamatario Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Do not park at Rona/Moffatt and Powell in Exeter. They have restricted entrance and are towing rigs. Too many parked without permission and left rigs for multiple nights that restricted snow clearing. So now they are Not snowmobile friendly. Please when parking in commercial lots, ask for permission. Edited February 6, 2021 by Yamatario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how close that is to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
