The only trails in this part of Ontario that I can think of off hand, around here, are closed in the winter and used as snowmobile routes. If you know of anything, definitely share. I agree... muddy roads are much better than paved parking lots :)

could head to Ray's Place in Minden ( used to be the Southwind motel and campground until they changed the name), but the trails there are short and may be a little difficult for the average rig. I have seen 4 runners on the loop with a decent amount of winching. Are there is camping there too. any meets happening in the new year?
I'd set up a rally point thing but I'm not a member yet.
Just hanging around to see how much of an overlanding crowd there is in ontario....

I heard about Ray's place, but trails there are not meant for an average rig, more for a full blow off-road beast, from what I've read. Here's a list of things you need for some winter wheelin':

It used to be more passable with standard rigs but has seen a lot of traffic and some of the trails have gotten really rutted out. I remember taking a 4 runner through with our group 2 years ago, and have seen Tacoma's in there recently but they are being pushed to the limit of their capabilities. I would say if anyone in a stock or mild built rig wanted to try it they could, but it would take some effort and I would recommend bringing someone who knows the trail and can help recover the vehicle if a spot is reached that just isn't working.I heard about Ray's place, but trails there are not meant for an average rig, more for a full blow off-road beast, from what I've read.

Hey Tacotoya, welcome! Fellow Etobicoke member here. I think we will try organizing something in March, when it warms up just a little =)
Welcome @Tacotoya !
Speaking of meets... I noticed in the OverlandNTH Facebook group that a few members were thinking of a run up to Attiwapiskat - Wetum Ice Road and such?
Would anyone here be interested? I know I would be, as long as I could make it work with school. Last I checked, the plan was late February/early March.

This is the thread I was looking for! New member from Washago. Will be watching this space for any Meetups, runs etc. Looking forward to meeting some folks!
If anyone was up for a trail run after a rigs and coffee in Eastern Ontario... the Ottawa Valley route is a favourite of mine, and not far from some good routes in Western Quebec!
