This might help until you get an "official" reply. The roads are shown on the Kawartha--Haliburton Highlands map.

Sherborne Road (the one we already know) is south of Dorset (the roads runs east off Highway 35). Pine Springs Road is about 10-15 km south of Sherborne Road, west off Highway 35. Ril Lake Road is west of Dorset, first take Highway 117 and head south at Browns Brae, or maybe they'll have us go straight west at Dorset through Maple Ridge.

Hope this helps in the meantime!

What is it you mean by open to the public? The roads are public MNR roads that aren't closed to traffic, if that's what you mean.

If you're referring to spectating, yes, a new spectator area is planned for the new roads (actually an old spectator area that hasn't been used for about a decade, same deal with the stage roads themselves). More info will be posted shortly with directions to the spectator area.

Please note however that just like any rally in the last 3 years, we cannot allow spectator access to the entire stage, due to our insurance and safety guidelines. That said, the new spectator spot will be quite impressive I'm sure.

Come out for the May 28th work day and see the roads for yourself.

They will be online shortly. The spectator maps and schedule have just been completed and are being sent to the webmaster for an update. Please check back at http://www.mlrc.ca/blackbear/ often.

You don't need a map to volunteer! Just show up at the worker meeting!

Spectator info is now online.

We can still use more marshals, though!
