Krusty Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 We are planning a trip that will have us leaving North Bay next week but we will not need a hotel/motel. Just wondering if anyone knows of a place we can park 2 trucks & trailers for 4 days while we are on our tour. We are certainly prepared to pay to park but just don't really know of any place that is close to a trail that might work for us. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

bbakernbay Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Call The Portage Restaurant, 170 Peninsula Road, North Bay at 705-474-8800, Call ahead to see what their current policy is for extended parking Right on the AD trail, trail runs through their Parking Lot. They did charge but possibly might wave fee if your group ate there on both ends of trip. Great food and atmosphere Right off Highway 63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Can you still use the Sand Dam road parking spot?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 NBSC has confirmed that large Sand Dam Road parking lot, just off Highway 11 on east side, is still being plowed on a regular basis. Exit the back of the lot, (SE corner) and you immediately encounter A102Q trail. Left (East) takes you to NB308 and Temiscaming Quebec (Open this year) Go right (West), cross Highway 11 and 500 metres you encounter A/D Trail. Left on AD takes you to North Bay through The Portage Restaurant parking lot on Trout Lake. Turn right (North) on AD for Marten River, Temagami, Kirkland Lake. Also parking lot at Trout Lake on Lakeside Drive just off Trout Lake Road/Highway 63 is also plowed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I second the Portage Restaurant. Huge lot. Since folks around,likely safer too. Win - win situation. Active and full lot sends out a great message. Park against a side, to make plowing easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The Mr. Gas on D Trail at Hwy 17 is now open. Please ride safe and remember to refer to the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide for up to date trail status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
