Six lakes - Ft Mc

[white6]

Ditto as to what sparx said. Keep the trucks out!!!!!! Take your raptor to the staging area and unload your machine from there. The firebag bridge is def big enough for a vehicle. The richardson would be tight, but honestly not sure how the rebuild went on it after last years fires, so it might still be a write off. Be responsible and be prepared. Check over your equipment and know its solid. What you bring in PLEASE bring out. Most people are helpful if you run into problems, no need to be stealing fuel or equipment. Take a bit of excess for comfort. I love the area and hate to see its demise by irresponsible visitors.

I've never been upto 6 lakes yet, but I've got a very detailed map of the entire area. if you want it, send me your email adress

hey, i know you posted about the map of the area a long time ago, but wondering if you still have that ? i have done one trip to 6 lakes, been to the dunes a couple times, and have stayed at the embrase portage more times than i can count on two hands. Unfortunately the people i know dont have much time left at the trapline, and its back to a tent for this guy. Myself and my buddies are looking to do a few good trips this year, and hopefully lots of exploring if we have better luck with equipment this year, cheers !

Heads up to anyone planning on going to 6 lakes. The bridge is closed again.

There was 17 of us that had to get lifted over and no we didn't have to pay for it as it comes out of the Emergency Fund. The pic you posted is not my Ranger but the lower pic I did is but my tub went after... The bridge is now open as of Sat. the 14th at 10am stated by the RMWB.

Thanks for this reply and the up date on the bridge.
