TRAIL REPORTS
Our Slice of Heaven
Boasting over 170 kilometres of groomed trails Cramadog is often the envy of the area with its lake and land trail system. Our trails are groomed at least twice per week and always for weekends! Our team of paid and volunteer groomers take great pride in preparing the trails for use. If you would like a suggestion for where to explore, or where the great "photo opportunites" are, simply e-mail us at info@cramadog.com
Where Did That Name Come From?
Why Cramadog? Dec 2003
No one really knows, but the story goes that
Cramadog is the name of a creek drains from a bunch of swamps and tributaries up in the vicinity south of Island Lake. It then drains into Farm Creek which drains into Wah Wash Kesh Lake near the exit point for the Magnetawan River on its way to Deep Bay. It is one of the most remote areas of the Cramadog 600 series trails system. Cramadog creek in the summer is only accessible by canoe and portage and in the winter by snowmobile.
Where did the trails come from?
Many years ago, There was many trails cut into the bush for various reasons. These included access routes for:
Hunters to their favorite hunting spots
Trappers gaining access to their trap lines
MNR cutting (F.A.R.) Fire Access Routes in the event of a brush fire
Logging companies and Loggers creating access for their equipment
For years Snowmobilers have been using these for quick access to and from towns. For years these were considered sled highways which were free of any permit fees or rules and regulations. Most of these have now been taken over by the OFSC in an attempt to organize snowmobiling. Here is a history of our Cramadog Trails

Cramadog Trail 605, also known as Gord's Trail, is our most popular trail. It winds from Whitestone Lake and the Dunchurch area, through 23 swamps to Wahwashkesh Lake connecting to the north/south Trail 600.
We are generally widening the trail as well as removing obstacles and softening sharp corners. More signage has been added and swamp crossings are more clearly marked.
Consider taking Trail 605 just for the fun of it and end up at the Whitestone Lake Resort for lunch or a hot chocolate.
Trail 605 affords the nature lover a look at beaver dams and bog areas that are accessible only in winter. But, it is the ride on 605 that keeps you coming back. This old trapper's trail is full of twists and turns and at times you'll think you're on a roller coaster.Trail 605 is being constantly improved for sledder enjoyment and safety.
