Those are some big lakes.  If you don’t know it’s probably a really bad idea.  Need to find a local to teach you them. 

Personally. I would avoid the stress and drama of no food, fuel, services between Searchmont and Wawa, and just drive the 2.25 hours to Wawa, and start there. 6-10 hours on sleds, two times in a weekend, or start at Wawa and go reach other areas, without being "trapped" in the hydro line corridor for 2 days. Good luck on the trip, keep us posted. Ski 

Appreciate the responce, as soon as that route opens we will be up there. It has been a long time since we have visited the area(2016). Hope to bring back the memories when we first started taking that route(1996)

We got out Thursday and did the route through Griffith.  Trails were really really good for about 90% of what we rode and the other 10% was decent too.  Was around a 370 km day.     Looking ahead thinking we’re going to go again this Thursday.  Still open on route ideas, but thinking one of the following   Plan A - Emsdale - Kearney - South River or Sunridge to Port Loring and back.  9 am start from the visitors centre lot in Emsdale.  Anyone familiar with this area please chime in on the route as I’m less familiar with this side of the park.  Looking to avoid the railbeds and the twisty windy trail.  If they can haul logs out on it it’s my kinda trail.     Plan B - Find somewhere to unload near Kemptville and do a loop towards Morrisburg and further east.  There is some pipeline corridors that run parallel to the 401 that have been on the bucket list to checkout.  If anyone is familiar with the area please point us towards the best trails to check out.  I normally avoid going south of seven to snowmobile.  But am told dist 1 in this area is worth checking out.  Looks like they have the snow right now to make it worth while.   Plan C - Head back to Bancroft / Birds Creek and pick another loop in this area.     Reply back here if you’re interested and if so which route you’d prefer.  I’ll put together some maps with route options again later tonight.

I will be coming to muskoka this week..wondering if anyone is riding the lakes..is it possible to go from Bass Lake to the town of Rosseau by lake?
