Hey Guys, you all know that I'm always on the look out for new places to ride in Ontario. Well I just heard about this place called Torrance Barrens in Muskoka. You can find Torrance Barrens immediately north of Highland Pond. The trail runs northwest to southeast along the southern shore of Pine Lake. It can be accessed from the main trail. This trail is the best example of the 'ridge and trough' pattern that characterizes the Barrens landscape. It may be worth checking out in the spring, sometime before the black flies come out. Visit http://vimeo.com/4739121 to have a look at some of the terrain.

Greg, check out the video titled "The Old Stone Road.." also by blackcanoedog on Vimeo. I understand you can link the two trails together to make a great ride. Hmmm, how about a day at Buckwallow, camp overnight at the KOA down the road, then ride the next day at Torrance Barrens/Old Stone Rd. Could Make for a great weekend mini road trip.
