TRAIL CONDITIONS |
WORK PARTY JULY 29: T5.2 We have a work crew heading to Pencil lake to do some work on the bridge. I have been in communicationwith Ken Swift of Buckhorn snowmobile club.
We plan to take the deck off the bridge, cut up the material and snow fence the bridge so people can see that it is not useable. THE DECK HAS BEEN REMOVED, ATV'S CAN CROSS THE STREAM NO PROBLEM, THE NEW DECK WILL BE ON BEFORE WINTER SNOWMOBILE SEASON STARTS.
We discussed helping at a later date to have a building day and we will discuss with him on the Thursday.
He had placed a note on their website last season to not use the bridge.
BEAVERDAM TRAIL T2.1 In the swampy area just before the steel bridge/ramp we made a cordoroy bridge over the first crossing using existing dead wood and then a rock and wood ramp coming out of the water at the far side (2nd crossing) eliminating a steep offcamber section.
At the steel ramp/bridge we filled the deep hole at the top of the ramp using several short lengths of logs placed vertically in the hole.
Another stone ramp was made coming out from the water in the detour section bypassing the steep rock climb.
A couple fallen trees were removed. All overhanging and side branches were also trimmed that may have presented a danger to eyes.
SYSTEM 1 TRAILS: T1.5 at Oxtongue Lake near T1.3 is being worked on by the local residents, best to stay off it. Also someone has put gates across some of the trails in that area, need the exact GPS coordinates to find out if they are on crown land. if you have them send to admin@haliburtonatv.com thanks Eric
GOOD PEN TRAIL BRIDGE T4.6 is in poor condition please do not rid on it, we are contacting Buckhorn Snowmobile Club to arrange to repair it, you can cross the stream to get through. Will advise when repaired.
South Lake trail T3.4 has been repaired at the request of the owner, 12 loads of fill were spread on a section of the trail flooded by high water from South Lake.
The trail from Sedgewick Road off the Rail Trail to Minden has been reopened, the courduroy road has been completely rebuilt.
The bridge which belongs to HCSA on the outhouse trail from 118 to Pine Springs is not safe,
The Gord Hamilton trail from 118 over Anson Creek to Minden has had extensive work repair work done late fall along with the Anson Creek bridge being rebuilt.
HATVA, KATVA and Twin Mountain Snowmobile Club have done considerable remidial work on the 5 points trail system south of Gooderham. |

COLONIZATION ROADS |
| We have encountered a situation regarding the use of old colonization roads as ATV trails. We have engaged a lawyer who is leading us through the maze, We will keep you posted as the current situation unfolds. We have been to Dysart Council twice, the trail goes through a large tract of land managed by a Sportsman's Club, who claim that this road is theirs, the road was originally built in the mid 1800's by the Canadian Land and Immigration Company, records indicate that the crown assisted in the cost of construction. Sportsman's club now acknowledge the existence of the road. |
