The description of our cottage says that it is right next to a snowmobile trail.....which sounds great....except that it turns out that it is actually illegal to snowshoe on those trails.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not sure I want to snowshoe on the lake, since we don't really have the tools for testing how thick the ice is....
So....I've been trying to find info on hiking/snowshoe/cross country trails nearby but have come up empty. Anyone have any info or know where we can get info on where we can snowshoe? Maybe we can just go in the forest near the cottage, but since the privacy rating for the cottage is the lowest, I'm guessing that there won't really be forest around the cottage.....

good point on the lake...i am not 100% against it, but will definitely wait to see how big it is, and what other tracks/activity seems to be taking place before venturing too far on it.
ReplyDeletei haven't even looked at a map so i don't know where te cottage is in relation to anything so i'm not help at this point!
I'm not comfortable going out on a lake. I have only walked on a frozen lake once and it scared me.
ReplyDeleteDeerhurst Resort will let us use their trails for a nominal fee. we can also go to algonquin park and also Arrowhead park is nearby.
ReplyDeleteboo...a car ride to go snowshoeing. not fitting with my visions of traipsing in from the cold and jumping in the hot tub;) if the lake is small there is a very good chance it's safe. it's been sooo cold these last few weeks. I'm going to do some investigating online and see what the google gods have to say.......
ReplyDeleteI had the same vision..... but if we have to drive, that's ok....
ReplyDeleteI did some googling too!

Hopefully there will be a wooded area we can go to within walking distance of the cottage though
we all can look at spots and anything we can do outside our door is good enough for me - ket's face it - I will only be doing 45 min intervalls and then in for a hot chocs and baileys and then back out.... AND have I mentioned hpw happy i am that i am finally on this dam blog!!!!
