I've heard there's some awesome riding up there as well, but never been. I travel to Fort Mac a couple times a month for work though, so throw me a pm sometime if you wanna plan a ride together! :)

It's hit and miss... Mostly gravel pits, but there are some dry trails when you know where to ride. Saprae Creek has some of the nicer dry trails for a sport quad that I like. Even around some of the outskirts of town it isn't too bad but you have to be careful to make sure your not riding within the city limits. Rotary park is a popular area that's really dry and has a few trails around it as well. Times of the year dictate more where you can ride as it goes from dry to very wet in no time flat here as well. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the Six Lakes(Richardson Backcountry area) I wouldn't own a sport quad up here. Something like a Renegade would be much better. I'm born and raised here myself, so feel free to pm me if you need anymore info.
