Bruderhim closed - May 18,2010 +

We got back from Bruderhiem last night(tues 05/18). Had a visit from the RCMP and were informed the area is closed because they are digging up hot spots, do not ignore road closed signs as they are patroling the area and will be ticketing.
It was the first time we rode there, nice trails but couldent believe the amount of garbage every where we went, no wonder so many people want to kick us out of riding areas. If we dont start being more responsable we're going tp lose them all.

I heard on the news that the big Opal fire north of Edmonton could have been started by ATV's. I agree with you kiss it all good bye

they'll make any excuse, probably just lightning

The problem is we haven't had any lightning lately when the fire started. It could be anything from a cigarette being tossed to a spark from a muffler to skeg untop of a muffler that fell off that was smoldering. So please keep an eye out for this on your atv's or a buddy's, and please don't throw your butts on the ground either. The sports from quadding to snowmobiling are being watched very carefully lately.

the fire in opal started where it was burning two years ago maybe from an under ground fire. i can see why they want to put out any under ground fires there.and the fire in opal that burned two years ago was not started by quads it was started by a land owner burning off dead grass or somthing like that.

Anybody know any more about this? Want to head out there monday with a buddy since he only has a couple free hours. Anywhere else close? Close as in within an hour at most

RedWater is right close. just across the river?

Great riding there, and some good staging areas. I dont remember the specific directions, but im sure someone on here will.

It's like a 10 minute drive from burderheim. and I personally like the riding there alot more. just have to get creative when looking for the right trails.

The sad part is that i work at provident right by redwater and i have no clue where people are riding out there lol. Anyone give me a rough idea?

There is a map to the bruderheim natural area in the staging area maps section. See the left navigation menu on the main forum page on the left side.
