Whitecourt Camping & Quading

[rebel7777]

First time poster, looking for information on where to quad around whitecourt. I have heard of the windfall area; we typically do off the road camping vs the paid stall thing (not to many sites like quads), so I assume camping is ok in this area as well as quading?

Any suggestions or other areas for quading /camping would be appreciated.

Thanks Rich.

Windfall is an awesome area to camp and to quad around, near the Athabasca River... just west of Whitecourt about 15 - 20 minutes. Just make sure you are registered and insured on your ATV.

Any ideas as where to go? I haven't been to this area before. We've been to Grande Cache & the Edson Areas. Is there any issues with camping in the back country there?

I was there almost a month ago. West side of hwy 43. Camped back in there near atv trails. Lots of muskeg and tons of water.
Get a backroad mapbook. Some trails are marked in there for Whitecourt area.

Sorry, we usually do it old school, trial & lost, but I would like to know where can I get one of these books? I do have a Garmin GPS, any maps would be appreciated as well.

Oregon 200, I have the oilfield map loaded right now, but it doesn't give much for back trails

Thanks again for all your help,

Just found my disc for TOPO Canada V4 (not enough detail), took a while, which loads basecamp software. I do have the Oiltrax NT loaded as well. BUt I'm looking more for camping spots and quad trails than oil & gas leases.

So, would anybody have any suggestions for some kid friendly(little quad) trails in the area.....hopefully close to a random camping area that would accomodate some larger trailers????
I've only ever seen the place covered in snow!!! Thanks!!
