Huron lakes vicinity
Even though it's been weeks since the last snow trails 21 and 20 and 18 and 9 and unofficial old trail 13 (1983 map) across the beaver ponds were in great shape. No Demsis here. A couple tricky spots in some places but nothing dangerous and far more enjoyable than the groomed trails.

Do you have a pdf or other e-version of the 1983 map that you could share? I’m intrigued by the #13 trail.

Their are some good stories about the history of skiing in the park on Mcgoldrick’s site
http://mcgoldrick.ca/xc-skiing/index.html
and I think I got his story from guidegatineau

and I got 3 old maps from Craig Story’s site but can’t find the page with the maps now. Perhaps Charles can help.

The page that Robert is referring to is here

you have to scroll down.
I think I’ll make some inquiries and find out what the legal status is for making maps like this public. Some people have more, but they may be subject to copyright problems if they post them on the internet. For all I know there may be other reasons why they can’t be made public.
