I know it will likely be crazy out on Lake Nipissing, Trout Lake as well as Lake Nosbonsing and Lake Talon in the immediate North Bay Area. I am not familiar with the landscape in that region (private gated land, crown, etc).....but this is what I just looked up on the OFSC site: The OFSC has received permission from the NBPSDHU to proceed with limited grooming operations to facilitate OPP trail monitoring and other EMS support, and so that when trails in the affected districts re-open they are ready to ride. Groomers on trails do not mean trails are open. So there will be some upkeep, etc.....but as you stated, it will be a difficult one. I just cannot see locals, or even non local not jumping on the trails to ride, get to a lake, some off trail locations / hydro lines, logging roads, etc......unless there is a barricade stopping that, and even than, people find ways around them. I think most will agree, a very poor choice that once again will have adverse affects......but some will sway the other way too of course.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your view point. That inconsiderate lake formed in the big open hole in front of the subdivision and towns that surrounded that big open deep hole so we should now restrict the public access to special times because all the houses were built around this big hole in the ground long before it filled with water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtserider Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 So I talked to my MPP today. I said I was disappointed in his local health unit officer making his own rules. I thanked him for being in the country. He said he would get back to me on my concerns.I said don't worry about that I will call you tomorrow and the next day. More to come tomorrow.More should do this instead of taking up bandwidth. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sksman Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I heard from a friend today that says the Emsdale info center parking lot was packed. Maybe 20 pick ups and also cars carry single occupants meeting trucks and trailers. Trails were busy lots of traffic. My friend stopped and talked with a couple groups of people out walking. All of them were of opinion trails should not be closed. XTR in Sundridge does not want to see trails closed. One local said the locals will still be out riding trails. OPP previously really had nothing to charge anyone from out of town riding before the Health shutdown tonite. No law was being broken. That might be changed now? I don’t know. It was a beautiful day on trails. 254kms of exercise and stress relief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sitting on Forest Tower Road right where the "D" trail north crosses it charging sledders..

RAMSOMAIR Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I wish I could believe that and would love to see it, but the OPP rarely have time when the trails are open to be out there. If this is true, people who actually buy permits will be ticketed instead of the low life’s who choose not to contribute and purchase one at all.

When the trail is closed they can ticket everyone instead of just catching the odd one. Making it so much more lucrative a cash grab for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravesledding Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It is what it is the reality is that district 10 is closed, in my opinion close all or close none and that goes for everything else. Every person and every business have taking a big crap kicking in the last several months, unfortunately it is far from over. We have several leaking water taps that is the root cause but we seem to be avoiding or not addressing, airports, certain municipalities that have 6 to 7 families living in one home, anti mask protests and the list goes on. We can protest, sign petitions, bitch and complain but the reality is that this pandemic is here and we all need to do our part to get it under control,(Easier said then done) Stay safe and hopefully we can all get through this.

It's fine, Justin asked them to please quarantine for 14 days, it's Canada, everybody just does the "right thing", and he did say please, so it shouldn't be an issue. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
