gtowe Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Has anyone been out the last couple of days on the trails in our area after the thaw/rain/freeze? Trails were great on Sunday before the rain but we haven't had time to try since. I'm sure that they are fairly hard but have they been able to be groomed?

Steve F6 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Dorset area is excellent 65, 66 67 d101. PS and baysville is pretty good too. Road runs are terrible. I'm running an ice ripper, no scratchers, and haven't had a overheat issue yet this week. Drop at Raven Lake to avoid road runs in both directions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtowe Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 Thank you. Was thinking of heading that direction later today. Definitely trying to plan to minimize roads. Will be leaving from Mary Lake. Was thinking Baysville - Dorset - LOB - South Portage - back to Mary Lake. Road sections of 54 would be bad though.

stoney Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Saw a posting on facebook for tall pines that all is good the other day. Agree with Steve F6. Raven parking lot and very minimal road run from there. Plus trails are Green for that area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F6 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 In Baysville at the bridge just run the pavement across. That mogul disaster of a bridge crossing bucked my sled into the live traffic lane yesterday. Never again. Someone broke their wrist last week on it. Waiting for someone to land in the south branch of the muskoka river soon. Nasty run up echo lake rd too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtowe Posted March 6, 2021 Author Share Posted March 6, 2021 Trails from Mary Lake to Baysville and the Baysville “super highway” were all good yesterday. Hard but enough cooling. Any roads were bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is down right dangerous,like said above avoid the bridge. I thought when crossing it was going to tear my ski off, or toss me on the road. The snow level is lower than the guard rail in places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 LOL all my sleds have wheels on them for this time of year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx7rr Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Went from Port Sydney to Baysville and back plus a bit of d102b and 50 late Tues aft. They must have groomed Monday at some point as trails could not have been any better with very few sled tracks on them. Managed to get a quick 58 miles on to end the season unless i can talk my wife into going out this morning one last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 That's what I read on there Facebook site. Really does not bother me as I do both activities in the area. Does seem a bit of an early call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Seems to have been an issue the last couple of years......you would think by now all the correct info would be well known by now for the various groups, assuming you are willing and wanting to listen to it of course!

We lost a section of C trail causing a reroute for that exact reason. Some are shared trails and some landowners grant permission for ATV's in the warmer seasons but not all. I have even heard an ATV rider filling up with gas commenting to his buddy... "I'm glad I carry bolt cutters with me now, too many idiots are padlocking the gates to OUR trails" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
