Where we going

 

Seen this at sail in cambridge today, who dis???

 

I want to check out Gorge.
It's on of4.

They did a newbie run there last month. Looks very similar to Minden

 

Don't know. Thought you guys mentioned Ardbeg.

Let's do it. Put it on the calendar.

 

From of4

Trail Description
The Gorge trail is a stock-friendly hydro line trail located about an hour from Ottawa. The trail follows the hydro line access road making it ideal for new off-roaders and those who wish a gentle introduction to off-roading. There are many off-shoots and rock climbing opportunities that keep the trail interesting for novice and experienced drivers. All of the off-shoots return to the hydro line access road so drivers can try the obstacle or skip it without getting separated from the group.
Cautions
This trail has been criss-crossed and re-routed by logging and a new logging road. Turn around at the end of the trail. If you proceed further you will be on private land and you will not be welcomed. Off trail swampy areas can be very deep and wide
Trail Highlights
Something for everyone

Sounds good except the drive there friday night......

 

Yeah, 5 hour drive to Calabogie from Hamilton, which isn't too bad for me. Though i might swing by three mountains this weekend saturday/sunday since i'm up in that direction

 

I got a good route, bobcaygeon. We will enter old logging road trail. Then go to crystal lake(camp there) finish crystal in the morning, then do pencil lake and go home

 

3h 55m to North Bay from Guelph.

Unlimited trails. Camping a gogo.






Just sayin.

They are located right at one of the trails heads. If you are looking for actual camping spots. They have a restaurant, and serve alcohol.

300+ KM of Trails

And some looser in a Tacoma will follow you around and pretend he knows wtf he is talking about.

 

The jeep needs more than dirt roads to drive around on, we need rocks and hard obstacles to conquer

 

Yes all I do is drive on fire roads.




Dont make me post more vidjahoe spam...


F that I am doing it.





I have access to any type of trail you want to run.

Hydro lines that are nothing but rock faces that you can make rock crawl trails on.

I have spent hours rock crawling in this 1 area. This area is great, the rocks I am up on just keep going behind me larger and better. I should have taken the pic from behind the truck.

 

We should do a Manitoulin island road trip early fall before the ferry shuts down. Thats if we can find somewhere to camp, from what im hearing there aint much if any crown land. But lots of canoe spots @Joe23

 

Let me know how is it. I Was in Barry’s Bay last weekend and was thinking of going there but didn’t have enough time.

I’m going back there in August again

 

there's plenty of camping spots. but they aren't crown land camp spots.

which means $$

I know some are against paying to camp but meh. Given most places are relatively inexpensive I am fine with paying to camp, but prefer not to since they also usually have annoying rules like no big fires, no noise after 10pm, one car per site yada yada yada


But I would absolutely fucking love to do some paddling up there.
I'm actually considering going to ardbeg just to paddle one weekend.

 

do you need to pay for vmuts?
and any crown land around there?

I feel like it would be a candidate to plan a longer trip similar to the way Ontario Overland does.
