Hey a buddy of mine said he is going camping in dutch creek. I was wondering what sort of regulations there are down there. Is it a quad/offroad friendly or has it become like wiaporus and you can't go anywhere because they have closed all the trails and it's crawing with RCMP and wardens? I basically would like to ride right from where I set up my trailer. I don't want to be riding get pulled over and fined because I am not allowed to be on that trail. I am fully plated and insured but don't know the area at all.

Second I am towing a trailer and was wondering if it's better to turn at chain lakes to get to hwy 40 and south to the turn off

Or travel the extra 40 km on hwy 22 to Maycroft then cut across at Maycroft to hwy 40 and then north to the turn off.

would like to stay on the road that is in better shape because I can travel faster.

Can you ride on the gravel roads? Or just ATV trails? If there is a trail along side "in the ditch" can you ride that legally?
