Friends, please help us keep our trails by staying on the marked trails. We don’t want to lose any more access. These pictures are from the ski club, with attempts made to block access with trees after a couple snowmobiles trespassed onto the ski trails. We know it’s the acts of a minority, but these types of incidents will ruin the sport for all of us. Please share and tell your friends to stay on trail! ... See MoreSee Less
this trail was re routed to not go through any private property wasn’t it?
Why can’t the old arena road be used as the new trail
A group of us visited Dowling this past Thursday to Monday to snowmobile and fish. The dowling to Windy lake trail was available when we planned our trip. We planned on riding right from our accommodations. It was really disappointing not having this trail. We had to trailer to Vermillion Lake every day to ride. The open trails were amazing, and we would be back if the Dowling to Windy Lake trail re-opened. The economic loss to Dowling/Chelmsford is large. The group of us spent close to $20,000 locally over 5-days. Accommodations, food, fishing guides, tackle, trailer parts, fuel. Hopefully this gets sorted out. I came on here to find out why it closed.
Land locked in dowling now
so what, we gotta ride all the way down simmons and gordon lake road now?
lmao
Everyone can thank the people driving like maniacs speeding down the road it’s not the clubs fault people are stupid !
Not surprised, trail plan been looking for a reason to get out of grooming this trail for years,they new this was going to happen eventually
It's a cow trail! Always has been. No more trail pass for me. I will find alternate routes for my rides.
Other complaints of course
People need to stop trespassing. Everywhere you look it says stay on trail. And there you see alll kinds of sled marks off the trail Last year or so we could not ride and this year it’s getting so disrespectful out there
Bought a trail pass for the first time in years and now we are land locked in Dowling i guess it will be the last one... Brutal 👎🏻
There are too many entitled assholes on sleds with no respect for others. They ruin the trails for the rest of us and it’s happening all over the province. All you had to do is stay on the damn trail. The snowmobile club shouldn’t have to babysit adults. Whoever abused the privilege knows they did wrong but they don’t give a shit! Your stupidity just cost the rest of us a trail!
It will just make more traffic for residences on Simmons road if the trail is closed, this is stupid.
I thought we were running roads most of it
Now the owners gonna start shoooting at guys on sleds too I bet .

Better figure out an alternative or you will lose my trail pass dollars! This is BS that we can’t keep a trail! Bunch of whiny liberals out there!!!
