Anyone know who manages the trails west of Athabasca just south of Baptiste lake and contact information? Those trails are pretty brutal with huge water holes.

thanks in advance!

the transcanada trail in that area to the best of my knowledge is a SNOWMOBILE trail, not an ATV trail, however I would start by contacting Athabasca Outdoor Products, they can probably point you in the right direction.

I'm pretty sure it's more sled trail than atv.But I could be wrong.Alot of it is through muskeg and the muskeg is pretty wet this year!A couple of quads get stuck and it's a permanent hole!I think the sled club is called Athabasca River Runners.

Hi ESOX,

Are you sure that's part of the Trans Canada Trail? You can check here: Explore the Trail: Discover the Trans Canada Trail with our interactive map

If you find that it is, get in touch with the territorial or provincial director, whose contact info is here:

Cheers

thanks Dominique, the trail doesn't appear to be part of the 'trans-canada' system, although there were signs that had T.C.S.T (trans-canada snowmobile trail) on them. Are there separate trails?... One would have to assume that the trail I'm talking about would therefore be managed by the local club ie: 'Athabasca River Runners'.??

I don't really know anything about the TCST, to be honest, and they're not affiliated with the TCT. I do vaguely know of these guys and they mention TCST:

They might be of more help. Good luck!
