Gorge RR Status
As of December 2024, the Gorge road will be ploughed until further notice.
Parking is very limited - please carpool and ensure you don't block the road for the industrial traffic. Please park and unload off the road and give room for others to do the same. Parking is limited along Lybarger Road as well; please respect local residents’ access and park well off the road.
It is illegal to sled on a plowed road, which means that parking on Lybarger and sledding up the Gorge Road should not be done under any circumstances. When sledding up an unplowed road, please practice good etiquette: keep a steady throttle and no carving, to slow the growth of the whoops.

As of October 31st 2023 The Craigellachie Anstey – Gorge (0839.01) "Gorge Road” REQUIRES 2 way radios 7 days a week between Oct 31st and May 1st. No exceptions.
