A question about touchwood lake

[ssjrmk]

Just had a question about touchwood Lake provincial Park we are heading up there with our machines and hoping to head into Spencer to do some fishing, my question is if we stay in the campsite are we able to drive the machines out of the campsite and to the Trail head without getting in trouble with the law ? Any info would be great and if random campaign is an option whereabouts would I go to camp ?

Last time we stayed there we rode in and out with no issues, we just stayed on the backside close to the exit and just straight in and out. Don’t drive around the sites and you should be good. It will be a wet wet ride in, that’s a rugged trail, have you been before?

I have been before but that was many years ago. Thanks for the info.

Careful here people: do your homework...

Here says there is OHV staging just outside the campground for access to the trails.

The days of Parks tolerating OHV use in campgrounds are long gone. You will get a ticket for riding in the campground.
Contact Parks for clarity.

I haven't stayed there for a couple years, but they used to have a full time camp superintendent on site. Any issues and they would be on you. Leave the toys on the trailer and stage at the staging area. Don't give the greenies any more ammo than they already have.

How long is the trail in to Spencer lake ? Also what about random camping?

7 km in from the fire tower, a few spots to random on the way in but only 2 past touchwood, you taking a boat?

Have you thought about going into Jackson ?

There are usually a couple boats left hidden along the shore of Spencer. Bring in your own motor etc .

if you choose to use the boat we stashed there, please put the motor back underneath it and please refrain from putting bullet holes in it. thx lol

Haven’t seen any boats at spencer but have at Jackson but may be wrong.
