crewchief69 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Have the clubs started staking any of the lakes in the McKellar/Dunchurch area? Specifically Manitowabing and the surrounding area. Looking to set something up in the future and since the cottage is on the lake, I need access to get to the trails. OFSC site still shows them as closed. How much ice is up there? Thanks a bunch guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still closed the Mckellar trails are always one of the last to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crewchief69 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thanks guys. I know McKellar usually opens late but I'm trying to plan a week off work to do some riding and want to make sure the lakes are good. When they are good, the rest of the trails are usually green and good to go. Still alot of red on the map and some yellow. Do they just need more snow or cold weather? "They are riding the lake but no stakes" I always wait till it's staked to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to someone from the club Tuesday they said the trails have been ready for over a week but signage was not up to requirements so they could not open. I see the have opened now. I will be heading up for the next 4 weekends!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
