Dan-Senior Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 We were in the Elliot Lake area today. They received much needed snow in the past week and winter is looking much better. Today's outdoor activities included a series of bush routes and cross-country. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Senior Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 Elliot Lake / Dunlop Lake Lodge We were back in Elliot Lake this past weekend, staying at the Dunlop Lake Lodge. It was a full-house as all rooms were booked. There was quite a contrast in snow-depth from one-week to the next as Elliot Lake got hit with 2 good dumpings back-to-back. Lakes were slushy and we tried to avoid any full length runs, but enough to get to our friend's ice fishing shack and enjoy the indoor comforts. I took my restored vintage Super Sport on this weekend trip. Obviously it does not have alot of horsepower and is a short-track, but the joys of riding something I restored made for smiles. We went for a Friday night ride around Elliot Lake and Dunlop Lake, which turned into a freezing rain outing. The evening was wrapped up with some cold beverages in the Lodge Lounge with the opportunity to see friends we haven't seen in awhile and meet new riders from Southern Ontario. Saturday turned into a deep freeze and riding from the Lazy-Boy sounded more comfortable. Chad returned to the Sault and I headed to my bush camp in Iron Bridge. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamaha06 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Looks like a good time!! I’m heading up to Sudbury Thursday Morning and then riding to Dunlop lake lodge but not so sure how that’s going to work out with all this rain there calling for Wednesday. I have a loop planned going from Sudbury to Elliot lake, to Wawa, to Hearst, to Cochrane, to Kirkland Lake, to North Bay and back to Sudbury. I’m really hoping they are wrong with the weather forecast since it’s kind of too late to cancel and rebook rooms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, late Wednesday rain turns to snow overnight to get some lube for your sliders on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan-Senior Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Elliot Lake Snowmobiling Some photos from today's snowmobile trip to Elliot Lake. We did our good deed and assisted a Senior's couple who had gotten their Toyota RAV stuck on the Snowmobile trail in Elliot Lake. We also took a run up to Dunlop Lake Lodge for a Burger and said hello to Randy and Trish. The afternoon continued with a trip to the Horne Lake Cliffs, a rip down Esten Lake and the Elliot Lake Falls. Temperature reached +11. Slush was minimal to none.

Ox Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Doesn't look like much snow-pack there at all? The Soo got nailed all winter, but Elliot Lake didn't git much? I thought that the North Shore was getting good snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
