Mid Range Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Nobody is riding TATA territory.I have posted the same topic on HCS and no answer.Anybody rode Trail A106A just north of Elk Lake heading west toward Gogama. open or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowganda Lake Camp Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hey Mid Range The C106A is not open yet only for the fact it is not completely signed yet. There were some guys in Matachewan that were supposed to get it signed and didn't get it done for one reason or another. The trail has been groomed and is in nice shape. I have been working on the L136 that runs from the C106A near Matach to the A107C near Gowganda which should be finished tomorrow and then myself or someone from here will help get that one finished too. Both should show open by the weekend. All the trails in the area are in good shape . Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronOrange Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 A group of us rode A106 on the 26th. We rode it from Shining Tree on our way to New Liskeard. I can understand why they might say it's not open, the signs hadn't been put up at all through the Shining Tree Plan. It had been groomed. The snow was thin in some places on the way to Matachewan, but it was still a nice ride. I'm not sure what has happened there over the past 10 days but if the conditions haven't changed I would say that it would be a good ride. Watch the curves if the "slow" signs aren't up yet. You can call 3 Bears in Shining Tree or the restaurant in Matachewan for more information. Good Luck, AO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Thanks Ron......we have reservation at Minakwa Lodge on Feb 10th.We will be coming from Quebec crossing to NL then A trail til C106A toward Mattagami. So if I understand C106A will be ready for next weekend(signage)??? or it is open and groomed but TATA website says "closed" Do you think we might face problems or it's an easy go to Minakwa Lodge by C106A Should we take another route to Minakwa?? Where can we fueled up on the way?? Owner of Minakwa Lodge told us he sells gas. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trail is not open yet but will be as soon as the signs are up which should be finished tomorrow or thursday . There is gas in Matachewan at right on the trail at the Dogstar gas station. If you go through town you went too far. The trail runs right behind the station. There is also gas in Elk Lake at the Yamaha dealer or if you get lost and end up in Gowganda we have fuel too. BTW where is Minakwa Lodge?? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can we fueled up on the way?? Owner of Minakwa Lodge told us he sells gas. Thank you. We have found in the past that the gas station in Elk Lake isn't open on Sundays. You can call a # & they'll come & pump the gas w/ a surcharge. We found that we could've made it to Matach' from NL w/o the Elk Lake fill up ('doo ZXs w/ 600s).
