Iron Horse Trail Ride

[w3schultz]

I am going to give the Iron Horse Trail a run!. I know the trail is very tame but I am going to start at St. Paul on July 9th to 11th and do some exploring and geocaching (1004 caches). There is supposed to be some great off trail riding at various spots to keep the ride a little more eventful. I'll be staging at the Iron Horse Trail Camp ground so if any one is out that way and wants to join in, let me know!

which way you plan on going? As you may have heard the Cold lake trestle was burnt and is closed. You may want to ask some one from Cold Lake if the river is low enough to cross if you plan on going all the way to Cold lake.

If you're going with a group, prepare yourself for one hell of a dusty ride!

I am going to start off going from St.Paul to Heinsburg and back. Next one will take me North. I belive there is a way around the trestle but will have to talk with the locals for more on that. Ya, the dust could be interesting but so far its just me , so that shouldnt be a problem unless I go backwards lol

The river is fairly patchy in that area under the bridge and can go from any where of 6" to 6' of water ha, i went there like last week and the current created a awkward sand bar which wraps around making a deep hole! water levels are lower then usual but current is still srrong ... Only way i can a alternate root is there is a pull off to a backroad on your right right before hitting the bridge follow it til u hit hwy 28 and follow the ditch past the casino and carefully drive over the road bridge and continue the ditch til u hit cold lake!

How was the ride?
I might be in the area and will check out the Iron Horse and the Cougar patch.

Looking at doing a ride on Saturday Aug 18th.
Never been on the ironhorse before so this will all be new to myself and the group I ride with.
Aiming to unload at the pumpkins at 9ish am on Saturday.
