Mountain Park/ Cadomin

[teamgreen]

I was wanting to go into the Cadomin area this year for some riding and have heard that since the Cheviot mine was opened things have changed. The last time I was in this area was maybe 2002 and was wondering: Has the road gone radio controlled? can you still camp in the old mounatin park townsite? Any info would be great

Big changes up there. go to Cheviot website and info is there. I went there last year and there is no riding or camping around the area. There is a riding area with loading area marked out. Good luck

I think the Gov. was going to move the OHV camping area onto the other side of the divide around the Ten Mile Cabin or something. If you know the area you go past Mountain Park over the divide and down the very steep hill then about 6 miles or so. Public lands website probally has more info on where to camp.

Rode just east of Cadomin, couldnt get over the other side of the divide on may long, too much snow, guess I was being kinda hopeful. day riding is permitted on the south side of the haul road in the mountain park area.

We were hitting 4' in some areas The shade side of the hills were real bad in some spots at the higher elevations

Sledderglen, you are correct; the ATV staging area at Mountain Park has been moved to Ten Mile Cabin. Actually the cabin is now gone and camping stalls developed in it's place.

Mile Ten Cabin is close to a bunch of good trails; Box Cannon (Cardnal River Trail), The Divide, Ruby Falls, Southesk Trail, and many more.

The alternative to going over the divide is to take the Pembina River Road (also marked PR Road) and make a sharp right at the Y just past kilometer 93. The PR road crosses Highway 40 between Cadamin and Robb just east of the Mclead River.
