    Bicycling

    Not sure where to post this but I recently bought a e bike and was considering hitting the trails in APP with a fishing pole.  I see there's one along the Maddy from Rock L to Cache L. Anyone have experience with the 6 various biking trails for exercise or to fish or both?  I'm thinking I could bring my small chainsaw for a small fire to keep warm or heat up some cocoa

    I meant before April 1st.  I have a Fat Tire e-bike that crushes snow and trails..no problem getting through especially on the snowshoe trails

    Edit: to be clear, for the chainsaw that would be before April 1st.  The remainder of the time no chainsaw necessary

    you don't even want to get caught with any fishing gear before opener, to park rangers and any MNRF rangers in the park that shows intent and you WILL be charged. As for the chain saw, unless you're feeding a wood stove it's not really necessary (winter camped for 60 yrs and still don't use a chainsaw)- this early in the season there will be a ton of blowdowns and branches from the winter, especially with the wind and heavy snows we've had this year, a folding saw or hatchet should be all you need for warming fires- , anything up to a couple of inches (5cm) thick can easily be broken just by levering them between two close trees or one with a steep Y in it, fires really don't care if your wood is 6" or 2' long, unlike woodstoves that require specific lengths.
