Is anyone on the Forum familiar with this area?
A friend and I were scanning Google maps for Ontario earlier today. We were looking for out of the way parts of the province that might supply a good ride. As we were following the Ottawa River north from the capital, we came upon Chalk River.
There is an entire network of roads going west into the bush and going east over to the Ottawa River.The roads running west have names like Wylie Rd., Keane Rd., Leader Rd. and Bronson Rd.
They seem quite long and twist and turn a great deal. Exactly what we are looking for.
Is anyone familiar with this area? Has anyone ridden this area? What kind of roads are they. I am assuming they are gravel, but they may just as easily be dirt.
Is gas available? As I said some of the roads seem quite long and the presence of gas stations seems unlikely.
Needless to say it is a long trip up there and we would like to know what we can before we go.
Note, if you are going to check Google maps yourself, you have to zoom right in. The roads are barely there on the maps.
