Turn left at the line, you will have some nice valleys to shoot across and a couple of lakes for lunch/picnics.
After you cross the river, do not turn right, that dead ends a few miles further in. It used to go to the Salvation Army camp but it's now private.
Once you are on the hydro line, you can follow it back to the river, then jump to the rail bed and go west to Whitney, or east to Madawaska. Ice cream and beer at both....
Sweet i have been both ways and never seen the power lines i went up the mountains to the falls before the year before we went left and passed the sand pit and just kept riding till we ended up at a like and dried up trail
From what i recall the trail goes left at the dead end goes left up rocky terrain ian told me once that if you find an opening before the dead end in the bush it heads into a forrest that leads to the river and crosses it
You have to come back out to the Major lake Road (not the railbed) and take it towards Algonquin Park. Turn right in other words. It is paved at least until you get to the bridge over the Madawaska River. I expect that its OK to run it with ATV's, we always did years ago.
You could also take the railbed west until you hit the hydro line road, then turn right on it .
Look at Google Maps, or FishOn and search for Major Lake. (The camps website also has a map that covers the area):thumbup:
The trail doesn't actually dead end. The rail bed was blocked and a half million dollars was spent to put in that rocky bypass. It was put in to protect the one wood turtle someone apparently saw there.Quote:
