    Road is in good condition. No loose gravel, potholes or sand. A few segment of the road has rough asphalt, nevertheless, not bumpy. Elephant Lake road will not disappoint.

    As of today, a little bit of sand on the sides of the road in certain sections and some light gravel in the middle in others, but still very clean. Will not experience any imperfections at all if you hold the inside tire track.

    Was just on this road a few days ago, they utterly destroyed it with the new pavement they put down. Still a very good scenic road, but I wouldn't suggest twisting the throttle too much, my tires kept trying to find grooves and was sliding around a bit. Still a great scenic route, but it's no longer what it use to be in terms of speed.

    Giorgio Mommoliti is working on that.

    What is the new pavement? Sounds like float top.

    I would say it is very hard packed gravel, it has the rocks that make a sparkle when the sun hits them.

    Anyone know any good routes to and from Elephant Lake Rd?
    Only 2 ways to access the road. One you need to turn off from the 648 highway ( if you take the 507, it ends at the 503 in Gooderham. If you continue straight on that road it will take you to the 648. ), while the other is to get on from the small town of Maynooth. If you are looking to connect from the Maynooth side the road is called Peterson road, but then turns into Elephant lake road when you hit in and around the Martinwood resort area. Those are the only 2 entrances / exits to and from the road.
