Canuck Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Heading up to New Liskeard this weekend for second annual Father & Son tour (F&SII). First day will be New Liskeard to Timmins. Two trail choices (both about 300 km) A107C to Gogama and then north on C (via Matachewan); or C106A to Gogama (via Shining Tree) and then north on C. Based on current conditions, can anyone advise? Or, based upon past trips, is one route preferable over the other? (I realize A trail is more direct, but we will be heading back that way from Cochrane).

Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Heading up to New Liskeard this weekend for second annual Father & Son tour (F&SII). First day will be New Liskeard to Timmins. Two trail choices (both about 300 km) A107C to Gogama and then north on C (via Matachewan); or C106A to Gogama (via Shining Tree) and then north on C. Based on current conditions, can anyone advise? Or, based upon past trips, is one route preferable over the other? (I realize A trail is more direct, but we will be heading back that way from Cochrane). Both ways are going to get you there with pretty good conditions. The south loop on A107C is in good shape , with a slight re-route once you get to Shining tree that from what I hear is also in good shape. The North loop through Matach is also in good shape with a reroute just west of Matachewan to take you to the c trail . When you come to the end of the C106a you have to turn left and follow a plowed section of road for a few km's then turn right onto the trail and follow the signs to Gowgama. HOpe this helps. Have a good trip .. If you take the A107C stop in and say hi on the way through. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowberg Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hey Ron we will see you Sunday afternoon if everything goes as planned. We are going to the Ride for Kelly in Huntsville then Sunday Morning, driving up to New Liskeard, jumping on the sleds and heading to 3 Bears for dinner through Gowganda. We will then spend the rest of the week riding around northern Ontario. It doesn't get much better than that even with the limited snow we have this year.

snowgirl Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 We travelled to Timmins today (from Capreol) using the C trail, anyone knows if L143 is now open...would be great to take a different trail back to our truck instead of back tracking.
