Sheza Renegade Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Never sledding area before I didn't know how many miles you could out on doing speed limit and trail conditions. I know it's easy to put the miles on in Cochran,. Don't try that around orillia area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Last season during our Great Big Loop trip, we left T-C-P @ 9 AM. We stopped @ Gowganda for lunch & fuel @ 1:15 PM. The distance was 105 miles/172 klicks. If that's too much for you to tackle: J&L Lakeside Resort is 88 miles/144 klicks from Gowganda, they have food. Minakwa Lodge is 80 miles/131 klicks out, they have fuel, but as far as I know, no meals. There is no gas @ Mattagami FN, not sure if the store & restaurant are still open or not.

Turbo Doo Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Imo, i would either run sudbury for lunch/fuel, or New liskeard way for lunch/fuel. That way you can add a loop or so, depending on time, weather, trail conditions etc..Tatachikapika for lunch and back, pretty much same trails, up and back..

Tata Chika Pika is overated and expensive. The trails are nice though and windy especially on the Hydro Line..... it's a lonely ride with no one passing for long periods. Back in 1913 I did it from Timmins and met a woman who tried to turn her sled around and got stuck. When I came up she was so grateful....she was stuck for 2 hrs. Helped her get her sled out and she was on her way. If you do that trip.... don't go it alone. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New owners a year or so ago have rejuvenated the place. 5 of us were there overnight on our big northern loop last season, and really enjoyed our stay...excellent food and service, all at a reasonable cost, IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskoka Man Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Gowganda up to Kirkland lake for lunch and gas and back is a good one also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of old logging roads that are great also, if you know the backcountry around gowganda and elk lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...I was reading this post and thinking the exact same thing. You know they had to add a place to sleep in the Canyon, otherwise doing the speed limit, I am not sure you would be able to make the return trip following the "rules"....
