tricky Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Currently the D trail is closed north of Sundridge to the A101D, preventing a link to Bonfield. Does anyone here know if this is a simple lack of snow/frost and the long road section? Hoping that might be open later this week. Any Chance?

Blake G Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) From two weeks ago. At that time a tracked vehicle (but not a snowmobile) had ventured north into the bush on D from Forestry Road.

I road in off Foresty rd to Trout creek on Saturday and it was decent. We definitely need cold weather for things to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get that new trail cut and ready is amazing. Just that creek is abit of an issue. They said land owner pulled permission for no apparent reason too. Should be a seasonal lease with a tax rebate for land owner, so this comes to an end. We need to lobby government for some kind of land tax credit for trail system on private land. Snow ball that is going to be too big and roll out of control soon. We need to do something. Maybe a letter would get governments attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a letter would get governments attention. The way I read it was the landowner denied permission due to people riding off trail. The club rep says he patrols that section of trail and there is little if any off trail riding. Sometimes all it may take is one off trail scenario that particularly irks the land owner. Great job by the club in finding and establishing a reroute to compensate for the trail loss though.
