AREA HAZZARDS

We are in the process of marking all the gates with chevrons along the 400 km of trail we have. Many are done, but not all. On the 311B south of Kipling and 311A North of the Windthorst Shelter there are some large round bales very close to the trail please slow down in these areas. The ice on 311A west of Kisbey is now safe, we passed over it today and the groomer [11500 lbs] didn't break through this time. Trail 311F from the Stevenson trail/park boundary, south towards Carlyle was rerouted due to a oil drilling rig setting up. We created a new trail for 3.5 miles though the fields and through a pasture. We are no longer using the municipal road and had the oil company volunteer there time to remove the brush and rocks. Thank you to Derek Simpson for helping us out with this project and helping us make a safe trail for everyone who uses it to get to the park. The trail is in pretty good condition, but use caution till we get more snow on it.

please note: the Provincial park has gates at each entrance and along center road. One is at the west end, also at the Gillis lake road and the the entrance to Kenosee Lake east of the stevenson trail on the east end of center road, most are only about 6 inches wider than your snowmobile So please be aware and don't crash into one.
