Quading at Spring Lake

[buddyconway]

Has anyone ever gone riding in the spring lake camping area west of Grande Prairie?

i dont think its is that big of an area to go rideing. i lived in La Glace for a while and have been there a few times. Course if you head towards the saddle hills there are tons of trails that way.if you made camp there I guess you couldmake a day ride up to spirit river, that would be a good run.

there is quading areas there but you can not quad out of the campsite you have to trailer out unload and go from there but it can be done

Just before the 10km marker on the Spring Lake road is Boone Creek. You can ride west from there to Fish Lake. There is a cabin on the south shore but it's been a few years since we've been in there. Tried to go out last year but never made it. There are lots of cut lines to explore to. Saddle Hills is one of our favorite areas. We unload north of Sexsmith at the towers and ride west to Hilltop Lake. Makes for a long but fun day.

Hey there Mavrick how do you like your 420?Do you find it heats up and plugs the rad too easy?I have 2 of the same bikes with 26s on them.

Hey mavrick. Do you have a map of the area, where exactly do I unload for the trails north of Sexsmith coming from GP?

so far I enjoy the 420 never had it plug up or over heat yet and have had it wasit deep in muskeg. I had a popo before and had over heating issuses but the hondas rad seems to be better protected....have you had over heating problems with yours?

Hey RMK junkie, where are these towers? We have always been driving right up to Hilltop lake then unloading, the less we have to drive the better.

North of Sexsmith to the first speed corner and take a left. Go north maybe 8km or so to the towers. We unload at the last one on the right. Then continue north on the gravel road another 1/4 mile and there is an old logging road to the left. I can't remember the name now but you can't miss it. It's good to use a GPS in this area if your not familiar with the trails just to pinpoint your travel. It's easy to loose your sense of direction in this area because of the trails criss crossing.

Ya i can't keep it cool even a bit.And the rad i find gets plugged off very easy the 26s throw mud right at the back of it in mud.If i have to be on the throttle hard it don't take long to see the idiot light.
