I was talking to a buddy about that area recently. Ride out of Karl’s at Searchmont and head for Wawa (with fuel of course) or come from east and drop in Chapleau and ride west. I could spend several days just exploring in that area. Would also like to go back to Dubreiville, have been twice but a lifetime of trails and area to explore out of there.
We run a cpl of secret drainage's in Colorado.
But Chris Burandt has started poaching in/near our secret spot a little with his guide service the last few years.
I fully expect to make BC one day.
Most likely on my own sled, but who knows?
I've been finding new routes through the bush in Algoma since the 90's.
Pic from 10 klicks off trail in Algoma - we call it "Top of Ontario Hill".

I'm not so young, but at 58 I am the baby of our Colorado riding group.
I ride with fella's that stay mobile and fit. (I am amazed really!)
I'm pretty fit, but I am not the rider that I was 20 yrs ago - mostly from less time riding the last 15 yrs.
Hoping to git more time to ride at some point here.
If we can git "available time" and snow conditions to line up....
Two of my guy's rode a cpl days this last week - offtrail in "marginal" conditions, even worse - with a sugar base - and one came home with a busted up hood as he got tossed into a tree.
We like to see 40" on the snowtell, but they were riding at 29".
He's now 84 (I think) and I can sorta keep up with him now-days.
He would hit that drainage!
Actually - I just seen the vid where his chum ended up in the crick bottom just in the last 24 hrs!
(today or last night? IDK)
It really did look like all they had to doo was shovel the crick full and ride it out - which is what they did.
He thought that it was gunna be a bigger job than it turned out to be.
But yeah - at first - when the machine is 10' down in a hole - that doesn't register well on first glance.
But it was pointed down hill already, so that was helpfull, AND only the rear end was wet.
It could have been much worse.
