snowgirl Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Has anyone stayed at the Microtel in Kirkland Lake? It does not show up on the interactive map, so I'm wondering if it's easy to access by trail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never stayed there, but I've seen sledders there in the past. Always good to call ahead these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 We have stayed there. Very very easy to get to via the Comfort Inn trail, L108. Nice Hotel. I'd stay there again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Tim Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Only downside is you cant park in front of your room like you can at the Comfort Inn, but it is a newer more modern motel. Access is fine from either place. We found there was a limited selection in terms of food in Kirkland Lake last time we were there, maybe that has changed recently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's actually more food in town then you think. We generally like to ask at the front desk for recommendations.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up we would head up for 3-4 days (up to a week) to hunt grouse in all his old hunting spots. Now I bring my girls up for a short trip to hunt birds too (amazing how even forests change over 35 years). I still have not had the opportunity to go sledding up there yet.. but it's certainly on my to do list! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Dad almost certainly had my cousin as a High School teacher - Frank Zidar Jr., as Sr was my Uncle. It was a lively place in the middle 70's. I drove up there from Toronto on a motorcycle one weekend, just for Saturday night at the bars.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been up there a handful of times over my 20 years of riding and it never disappoints! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unfortunately can't confirm.. the only claim to fame Dad mentioned about KL was the gold mines and the fact that Alan Thicke was from there as well (although I think they missed each other by about 10 years or something).. I think Dad moved to Ottawa around the late 50's.. My aunt/uncle had a cottage on Butler Lake that we used to stay at.. It's no longer in the family unfortunately, but have great memories...

Evil Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 We stayed at the Comfort Inn a few weeks ago in KL. I like to park at my door. The front desk had a menu of a local restaurant. Food was amazing. Would definitely order from there again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
