the Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club

Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club has just over 300 km of amazing trails extending from Gooderham to near Bancroft and from just north of Apsley to the south end of Algonquin Park.

Our trails connect to other great trails going in every direction.

There are services available through our club area (gas, food snowmobile dealers and accommodation) so you can be assured of an enjoyable ride no matter where you go.

Watch for club events like the cookout during the sledding season as well, where you can enjoy a BBQ’d delight and a drink.

Brushing Day - Saturday December 2nd

We have some volunteers planning to brush the 618 trail (Silent Lake) on Saturday. We will be meeting at 10am at the firehall at Lagoon Road and Highway 28, about 15 minutes north of Apsley.

Bring your safety equipment, etc. Even if you don't have a chainsaw or pole saw or don't want to handle them, we can always use the help to pull brush off the trail. If you don't have an ATV, we might have room for a couple of people but please check with us first so we aren't having to leave anyone behind.

IB&O Bridge Has Arrived!

We are pleased to say that the bridge was delivered to the municipality yesterday morning. We have staff and volunteers keeping an eye on the progress and sending us pictures. The plan is for the installation to start right away.

The correct decision to address one that was not so much. 😝😝

More Trail Brushing

We have had crews out doing more brushing in the past few days.

Last Wednesday, our first team, lead by Darrin S., was working on 617 (Saunders) from Lewis Road to E110 and then E110 to Cardiff. Things were pretty good with only a few larger trees to deal with. Thanks to Timo L., Craig A., Brad P. and Larry K. for their hard work.

Yesterday (Saturday), another crew lead by Darrin went from Cardiff up the 612 trail to Baptiste Lake and also cleared 613 (Deer Lake) as well as checking that signage was in place. Again, things were not too bad and the trails are now groomer ready. Thanks to Ron T., Lynn B., and Brad P. for their hard work as well.

As always, we are glad of help and you can let us know via an FB message if you want to be added to our volunteer list. This can be for brushing or other things you might want to do for the club.

Really pleased that the Club received permission to use the north link of the Saunders Trail this year. A big thank you to the landowner from all of us on Lewis Drive.

Excellent, thanks to all involved. Apparently the Top E trail from Elephant Lake (Nomi) to the Miskawbi Trail (#601 North junction) was also prepared and ready for grooming.

Trails Update, November 22

Last week, we completed some improvements to Mason Hill, the very long and steep hill on E109 near Algonquin Park. Due to ATVs and run-off, this hill gets pretty rough and needs regular tlc (tender loving care). This year, we have placed some heavy stone and some top coat stone at the upper end to even it out. This hill is always a challenge to keep smooth and grooming it is difficult due to it steepness.

Many people are interested in what's happening with the bridge on the 606 Railbed trail. The municipality has told us that the bridge is being delivered the week of November 27 and will be installed within a week or two of its delivery. We will let everyone know when things start to happen.

With the deer hunt over, brushing teams are going back out. So far this year, probably as we haven't had any bad storms, we are not finding as much on the trail as we did last year. That being said, we still need help out there to clear and remove the leaners and cut back the small stuff which year by year intrudes into the trail. We also have more to do to clear culverts that have filled with brush or that beavers have blocked. If you can help and are not on our volunteer email list, please message us and we will add you.

Signage reviews are well under way as well and we are confident that signage will be ready for the season.

The 2 week forecast looks really promising. Lots of cold coming, which we really need to firm up the swamps and other wet areas. Let's hope that it stays that way. The season is fast approaching....
