Muskoka, Ontario CANADA!!!!

Post by motorhed220 »

Well this is as far North as it gets for most ppl, especially if your from the Middle America, anywho, Muskoka, Peary Sound, and the entire mid-Ontario region is a goldmine of trails. In the winter it s a Snowmobiler's heaven, but come summer the "Golden Triangle" is a motorsports Capital if Ontario.

Im talking about hundreds of Km's of trails, in one region Peary Sond, you can do 3-5 HUNDRED kms of trails, and its not pansy ass wimpy trails either, these are generaly GREAT trails, wide moderatly smooth, with a fine almost sandy base for a soft landing incase of screw ups.

There is a limitless amount of things to do up there, fishin, ridin, boating, anything that is involved in the outdoors. Basically it a bikers wet dream...

HOwever the only problem is you HAVE to plan a lot of it quite well and bring maps, whe you get up[ here there is literally NOTHING once in the bush, inbetween towns and all, and the trails go right inot the boonies. Plus some trails arent open to bikes are are swamps in the summer.

The closest traisl are in Barrie (part of Muskoka) which is about 2 1/2 of 3 hrs from the border, comin from Buffalo. about 5-6 comin from Detroit.

this is true Ontario has some great spots where i live the trails is all bush and just leads out to nowhere....its awesome fun.

but you do need a map if you take a wrong turn i'd think your doomed unless you have a map or someone who has been on some of the trials out here.

but if your ever around in Ontario near Barrie msg me up and ill come for a good ride. :grin: [/youtube]

Check the bottom end and rebuild the top with nicasil bore and a wiseco piston and it should be great.
There are some on here who are more familiar with the older air cooled versions maybe they'll chime in .

the ganaraska forest trail system in the oak ridges moraine in ON. that is about a 10 min drive from port hope and cobourg, and is about 20 min away from peterborough has great trails that are open to recreational/offroad vehicles, horse riders and hikers during the summer and is open for sleds, horses and hiking in the winter. the trails are great, they have a great variety of terrain and have trails to give you what ever you want to do, wether it be riding singletrack or wide open atv/utv trails, and there are also alot of great cut-offs, open land, hills and non club/government owned trails that are more challenging. it is a great area to ride, if anyone wants to ever check it out, shoot e a pm and if you are ever in town i'll show a around
