grover_yyz Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I was riding the North Bay and Port Loring area on the weekend and found majority of trails excellent and should be green. Day trips from the Restoule area. Even Lake Nippising was smooth and snow covered, very little slush. Only bad trail was from the Mr Gas to Trout Lake on the D trail. Tonight I see many trails are now showing green. Jerry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As PLC said, it can be a chore getting from there to the A trail north, and your day to Liskeard is long to begin with. On your Stonecliff day, it is a must to ride the 197 and 195 trails of the Missing Link club. You can ride them on the way to the A trail at Stonecliffe, where there is fuel, and then ride the A trail back west. If you have time, I would suggest using A112A in one direction to Mattawa and the A trail in the opposite direction. Both Trails have some very nice sections. New Liskeard and Sudbury areas were good last week even where snow was limited. You will have more snow now. Enjoy the trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Should have mentioned that the past couple of weekends around Sudbury have seen major sled traffic. I would be inclined to do that ride on Thursday, as Friday is now just as busy as Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the updates....there is still part of me that says I should go up to Timmins, as I know what to expect up there and you just cant beat their trail system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't carrying fuel, they may need to go through Mattawa for gas in both directions depending on what sled and how they ride or fuel at Big Moose Camp on the ride via the A trail. Its only about 4-5 minutes off the A trail on Lake Nosbonsing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 If worried about traffic on your day heading to stonecliffe I agree run 197. Then consider going to Rolphton and coming back up TQ43 to Temiscaming. It's a nice trail. Very remote, but a great ride. Makes for a good loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
