Yup stayed there multiple times in the 90's at Joncas in the chicken coup as we called it

If your looking to ride out of the Ottawa area I suggest Swisha to Val Dor trails up in Val Dor, Amos and La Sarre are all 10/10 and wide as the 401 in a lot of places very fast riding in three days we did more than 800 miles with lots of breaks.

It was also bad on Saturday March 10th coming up from Swisha on the 386 to Pavilion La Verendrye lodge. It was last groomed on Wednesday but prior to that not groomed for two weeks. A breakdown on the groomer was to blame. Also the traffic on that trail was busy as its a close starting point to Ottawa etc.

Entrance to the ZEC in Swisha has parking area.

Start at La Domain its 10/10 on the 63 to Val Dor ran from Val Dor to Swisha in 6 hours yesterday mint powder trails.

You need to take the trail into town its a 1/2 mile past the bridge where the Zec building is.

In Swisha take the road instead of the trail makes 30 K go by fast.

Yes first fuel is in Swisha / Rapides des Joachims at Lances.

The 43 part of that 225 miles is the autobahn speeds on that trail are what makes this the fast way can be done in under four hours with no problem quicker if you like to run 80 miles an hour. Its a super wide logging road with fantastic sight lines so its safe to give her.

The 43 to 386 is the fast way to the lodge.

Just once I would like to see the moose turn around and trample these low life's. No one with any decency would do this to an animal of any type.

Yup Esso is open as well the Lances in Swisha is open.

Hit that place Saturday night and the guy had no gas at the pump but was able to give us a few gallons out of a can. Not sure if he I having issues or just no gas. Moffet closes at 5:00pm on Saturdays so we missed that one.

Yup Textron owned Polaris and dumped them result was Polaris almost went out of business.

Rode about 500 miles in and around Mont Laurier on the weekend. Mashed potato like trails need cold weather. North of Saint Anne du Lac was better only due to less traffic.
