I think I mentioned my misguided short cut on a thread you started on Pike Lake. I took that "road" sometime between the summer of 1997 and 1999. There was a gravel pile where you could tell the so called improvements stopped. Shortly after that the brush was scraping both sides of my Dodge Aries and I happened to see a bicycle route sign. I got a little nervous but pushed on. There weren’t really any ruts when I was on it probably because the only vehicles that maybe used it were ATVs. There were boulders I had to dodge though. |

Leeches at night on slips. In the fall I would concentrate on the first steep break in 10-20 fow (plenty of that on this lake) and narrower it down with wind blown shorelines. Very clear water so nighttime or rain/clouds may be your best bet for eyes. |

Coming from the W via the Carioubu Trail is fine until the last 1.5 miles where the road? basically turns to a bumpy/rutty snowmobile trail. 20 minutes to go 1.5miles without the boat on trailer...." It may have been but we never saw it. The road was heavily crowded in vegetation on both sides so it was difficult to see much of anything. This a quote from the cabin owner after we traded emails after our stay at his cabin-- "Yes, that ride on the south side of Pike Lake to the public boat landing is character building. Hard to believe, but that road was considerably improved after the boat landing was built 4 or so years ago. I bent the frame of my SUV on it back in 1998." |

Heed this advice. Isn’t the bicycle trail sign still up? |
