Is Red squirrel Road open all year? Since it is used for logging access I would guess yes but does anyone know for sure? I like winter camping and want to head up in February for a few days. I'm not expecting it to be plowed like a highway but is there any maintenance done on it at all? |

I've been on it a few times in winter, but only by snowmobile. Snow gets really deep. |

Did you notice any tire tracks or will I have to bring up the troop carrier (and mount the tire chains)? |

The best answer is "it depends" though I haven't seen it ploughed past Tyndall Lake in a long time. You need to check close to your date to be sure. |

Thanks for the repies, I checked the map and if it is ploughed out to Tyndall Lake it will work for me. |

Unless they are hauling out from North of Tyndal chances are the road would be not be plowed.
Snow Machines do occasionally use it however to ac cress back country ice fishing spots once the lakes are safe |

If you really want to know, contact Camp Wanapitei, they have a winter caretaker. |

Katherine and I made the trip to Thieving Bear Lake on sunday and found the road in to be clear. Of course there wasn`t too much snow (7.5cm) yet but the lake was frozen enough for me to walk out 100 metres without any problems. |
