Lots of tracks heading up that way, I may investigate but I haven't been on that lake in 30+ years

only bad spot is right where our camp is, king lake dumps into the cove in front of our camp .we cut a trail before the cove hugging the lake,trout lake rd at 7km marker you have probably seen the pit with lots of tracks,thats the back way in,locals keep it groomed follow it for a few km to the steel bridge,there will be trail on right before the bridge thats the old trail and is now a road ,go past to bridge.after your over the bridge turn left to our camp or turn right to go onto ashby.if you turn left its about 10 or so km to our camp,there is  1 trail to the right just before our camp,thats a trail to our neighbour go past,you will go down a hill tracks to the right lead to camp tracks to the left lead to stewart long lake and the far end of barker,great little cruze thru there.

French River Snowmobile Association

 

Can't drive south this winter? Buy a permit from us and drive north! Come experience hard packed trails, minimal sled traffic and the best view Ontario has to offer during winter.

Early season pricing still in effect, $190 gets you access to every trail in Ontario.

 

 

 

 

The lack of traffic is so true, you can ride all day and sometimes never see another group

Bump...

Anyone have some sled trips in the works for the year yet? Will not be long before there is some Green or Yellow trails in the north for the holiday season.
