O.K. then. Just got back from trying to get more than half a km into Burntlands. Lot's of Goddamned water. LOTS. No success. So I went playing at Rock Coady. HOWEVER, I think it may have been a while since anyone's been to Burntlands. Threre are bright yellow signs at every entrace and every 100 feet along any fence along March Road or Burntlands or Concession 12. The Sign Reads:

Burntlands Provincial Park

This area has been designated a Class 3 Protected Widerness Area.

OH DEAR GOD!!! :eek: IT'S TRUE!

I guess I was seeing MND, where it actually IS MNR. Damn...

Quote from the E-Laws, Ontario Goverment webpage:

BURNT LANDS PROVINCIAL PARK (NATURE RESERVE CLASS)

In the geographic Township of Huntley, in the City of Ottawa, and in the geographic Township of Ramsay, in the Town of Mississippi Mills, in the County of Lanark, containing 516 hectares, more or less, being composed of those parts of the said geographic townships designated as Parts 1 to 3, both inclusive, on a plan known as P47 Burnt Lands Provincial Park (Nature Reserve Class). Filed on March 7, 2003 with the Office of the Surveyor General of Ontario in the Ministry of Natural Resources. :( Is this as bad as I think it is? :confused:

Whew! Thanx! That "No motorized vehicles" thing had me in mind of Larose and Marlborough Forests. As in NO GO. Period. Well, we do get to play in Marlborough Forest again starting in September. But otherwise, it's a no go zone. Thanx again! Made me feel MUCH better. :smokin:

[Mud Lite][We have stopped and read the signs, and I thought that the list was ALLOWED uses. Maybe some one can snap a picture and post it up.][Mud Lite]

Do a Google search for Burntlands Provincial Park. Lots of depressing info on many different sites.

If the weather is decent on Monday, I'll wander out in that direction and snap a shot on my cell phone and e-mail it to myself. I'm pretty sure it said the list was for what's prohibited. Espescially with the asterix beside the motorized vehicles and the correponding one beside the snowmobiles' exemption. Man, I hope not. :( Peace. :smokin:

I used to live out that way. They want people to stay out of there but I only ever saw the signs south of March Road. Its the same area that had the forest fire 8yrs (or so) ago. I thought we went north from Ramsay 12? I can't imagine there is much wothwhile in the section south of March, mostly flat rock and then 1/4 mile or so east of Ramsay 12 you'll hit Cavanagh's pit anyway.

Thank God! Checked a little deeper into the Burntlands Provincial park thing, and it seems that the only area that is strictly protected is the fenced in field North of March, West of Burntlands Rd, and East of the quarry. And the signs at the end of Concession 12 are just the City saying "We don't maintain these roads. Have fun!" Whew! I thought that I had ruined Burntlands for everyone. Nope! Just that big stupid field that you can't get into anymore anyway. (Not without wire cutters). ANYWAYS... Burntlands is still (for now) a GO zone. WOO-HOO! :smokin:

Was at Burnt Lands today and we stopped to take a pic of the sign so there's no confusion:


What I don't understand is, is that everywhere? Ty thinks it's beyond the signs.

As far as I'm aware, it's just the portion south of March and between Golden Line and Tommy's pit. That's the only area I've seen the signs.

In response to the first post. MND stands for Minister of National Defence. At one time all DND signage was like this.

Burnt Lands was a training area at one point a long time ago. Not overly sure if it's still property of DND now.

Burntlands map

Hi - I have a map I made from one I found on the web called :Map_770450.pdf

Mine is just the Burntlands area with a bit of extra labeling. It clearly shows the restricted areas in green. I'm thinking the mud hole which I think exits onto the Golden Line (not sure though) is accessed through the U shaped area off the 12th line - and might actually be in the restricted area.

Ciao,
George
