DRIVE CUSTOMERS TO YOUR DOOR...

Back for another winter it’s the annual HCSA Trail and Hospitality Guide. Our trails take snowmobilers from all over into Haliburton's communities and to your business; by dropping in, phoning or both.

A targeted ad aimed at a great audience might get winter lovers at your door. That’s something to consider if winter is too quiet at your business. The HCSA may have the answer....

It's what we do !!



We'd sure appreciate it if you would share this post.

Thanks- Team HCSA

THREE BROTHERS BRIDGE. THE EPILOGUE...

It happened without much warning, as Big Hawk lake continues to drop to to winter water levels ( guesstimating 8" in the past week) our volunteer crew made the call put the Three Brothers River Floating Bridge in place for the coming season. Leave it too late then its on river bottom and an easy job becomes very difficult. We learned that the hard way a couple of years ago.

This super important crossing is now ready to go on TOP Trail B and Ride The RAP snow tour. (Round Algonquin Park)

FIXING A FLOATER SO IT WONT BE A SINKER..

You are looking at a critical bridge on TOP B ( Ride The RAP ) one of two floating bridges in our area. Location is on Big Hawk Lake on the Three Brothers River. This 125 foot crossing badly needed some attention before riding season;. Some 49 floats were leaking and it was listing.

Access is seldom easy, this job was no expection. Special tools were purchased to do the work, good floats rounded up which we had in inventory and fasters. What made this challenging is the HCSA crew and all the parts had to be floated in from the landing to the trail, a 3 kilometer boat ride (1.5 miles)

The biggest of thanks to those who came out, and the donated material from HCSA cheerleader Earl Nicholson who gifted us pieces and floats he was not using.

Here's how we did it....

THE DOMINO EFFECT..

A 44 kilometer trail closure affecting our friends and neighbours The Maple Leaf Snow Skimmers will challenge riding to the east this coming season, one bridge has been condemned at Papineau Creek, impacting a much wider area including the HCSA. We stand with the Maple Leaf Snow Skimmers, Opeongo Snowbirds SC Paudash Trail Blazers and others coping with this difficult situation.
Here's what happened....

MORE BRIDGE WORK ON TRAIL 9 AND A BIG SHOUT OUT...

Our crew working with volunteers from Haliburton ATV Association Ontario Federation of 4 Wheel Drive Recreationists and Haliburton Trail Riders teamed it up to fix up two Trail 9 crossings, one of them a replacement deck on a short (16 foot?) bridge near Universal Road, the other a more minor fix. If you've noticed much of our "off season" has been focussed on the bridges of Trail 9 as shown in earlier posts.

NOW...

It's time out for a shout out...
We cannot say enough good things about our friends at Hawk River Construction Ltd. for some exceptional help when we really needed it this past winter. We appreciate you and dropped in to say hello.

NEXT

On the radar is a major rehab of the Three Brothers floating bridge at Big Hawk/Little Hawk Lake on TOP B.

HANGING OUT AT HALLS LAKE..

During the non snowmobile months we like to get out and about in our community just to say hello, mix, and mingle. On a soggy Saturday we enjoyed attending the Lakeside Market at Elvin Johnson Park on Halls Lake. Local artists, lakeside neighbours, a few tunes and a snowmobile club.
