yamahas Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 How are the lakes? From what I see Lake Nosbonsing is "limited" so it is staked? I know that is a different club though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it is stakeed. I heard they were running Nosbonsing & Nipissing but I don't know if they are staked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXZ Man Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We will be staying at the Comfort Inn on Lakeshore Drive in North Bay. Will we be able to access the trail across the road on Lake Nipissing? How thick is the ice and is it slushy? Cold temps will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
