Oniondips 09 Ford F150 with leveling kit and 35's, I just didnt feel like driving mine.

oniondip Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 ford eh, I like the 5 speed 4.0L rangers, they are a good rig I used to have a 2010 ranger with torsion keys/shackles and 31s. Sold it for an F150 that is now leveled and (hopefully) have 35x12.5s on it in a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee96 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Large and big Scott = my jeep will easily go past the lake, there would only be one mud hole to pose a problem and then a 3 ft deep swamp hole about 60 feet or so long further in.. Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to exit that trail because of the big river and skinny bridge back there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee96 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sounds like fun for another day. Yeah, if they don't gate the road, I will take the time some weekend to walk from my camp to the bridge, it's about 5 km but there may be other obstacles in place ie small bridges etc in the mud holes that I don't know about.

Eastcoastcam Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Is access to your camp from that road? Does your family own the land the camp is on? This would be grounds for a key to such gate I would think, if your family is a landowner back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherokee96 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Nobody owns any land except I believe a portion further out the road on the glen margret end, all land belongs to either HRM (I think) and Crown land. Very few lease owners back there on crown, the lake is practically split in half by crown and municiple land so everyone is on the municiple side and the gates I am referring to would be open gates but merely wide enough to get ATV's through NOT trucks. Some bs about it being a wilderness area and somehow trucks are more damaging to the road bed. Thankfully though they haven't eliminated all motor vehicle access like they had originally intended. This is all hearsay of course I don't know 100% what plans they had but I believe what I'm saying is in the ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it is fire roads for the event of Forrest fires ext I'd be surprised if they put a gate anywheres back there. But never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee96 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Im attempting to find out what is actually going to be done with regards to heavier vehicles using the roads.. they are now replacing culverts etc becuase the old wooden and steel ones are rotting away.. they may have a weight restriction that shouldnt be pa**ed.. i really dont know but i have heard talk of gates, which yes, would be stupid, particularly more so with the possibilities of fires... The trail is seperated into different sections belonging to different designations, DNR,Private, NSE which i think means the Environment.. so which sections may or may not be accessible are unknown right now to me.

grizzly Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 The area has already been designated. A few links to the NSE website for mor info, notice the trails on the map that will be under a trail management agreement...... http://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/protectedareas/wa_fivebridgelakes.asp http://www.gov.ns.ca/nse/protectedareas/docs/wa_fivebridgelakes.designation.handout.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oniondip Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I think my buddy might be coming out in his Sierra. But he wants to know how tight the trails are. Any chance of scratches on a full-size truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
