BigFoamy 482 Posted April 7 That road is in typically rough shape to begin with. Im sure with all the snow this year that its pretty bad. If it stays this cold and continues to snow, who knows, maybe June...arghhh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northfork 157 Posted April 7 They don't want people on it when it's greasy, for safety and because agressive tires will chew it up worse. Good news is its a south facing descent so will not take long for it to break up and dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishteck 166 Posted April 7 There are plans to replace the access road later in the year. A two month job starting in August or September. Access will be shut down once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Access will be shut down once again. Short term pain for a long term gain. That road would benefit greatly from a week of sheepsfoot packing and lots of gravel.

fishteck 166 Posted April 8 The plan is for a completely new footprint for an all weather road that will meet county constructions standards to meet 40 Km/hour. No more patching up the ****t-hole of a cattle trail to the flats. The plan is for MacKinnons' Flats to become a Provincial Park with enhanced amenities. Details of the road construction will follow later. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
