Think I’m heading up to Zenon tomorrow after work. Looks too good to pass up.

6 of us are leaving the Toronto area and heading to Le Cabanon next week for a couple days of riding. We are hoping to ride 3 or 4 different loops approximately 300km/day. Looking for trail condition info, groomer activity info and recommendations on 3 good loops we can do with good lunch stops.
Thanks in advance,
Carm

We ride PQ often but not this early in the season. I just picked up my new sled and we are itching to ride. Where would all you experienced members of this recommend to ride this weekend?
Saint-Zenon, Mont Valin, or Gaspe

Mistissini is an elusive run. Depends on when you go. Often times that trail is on the map but non-existent until late in season. Could be different this year. But many years we have tried and it was just not open. I have been there once however and unless they changed the trail the last run up and onto the lake there is very fast on a summer road.
For your other Questions
1. i have never stayed in Lebel (gas and go for us) there is a Motel this one http://www.moteldulac.ca/. Dinner not sure. Probably a pizze place or something there.
2. Playhard is spot on. Your day 2 is short. Depending on what you are wanting to ride, trail from Lebel to Chapais is on an abandoned railbed and lets just say 100 miles goes by fast. But not so fast when it's-30c. There's gas in Demarisville I believe at a store there. Lunch would be Chapais i guess but then you are in Chiboug early afternoon. Me i would get to Chiboug then check to find out if Mistassini trail is really there. If so depending on time run it up, get gas then back to chiboug. Or there is a small local loop around chiboug to kill 45 minutes or 1 hr maybe.
3. Day 3 run from Chiboug to say Hotel Roberval. That positions you for a run down 83 to 73 to La tuque for the night. Again i do not know what kind of KM you are wanting per day. http://chateau-roberval.qc.ca/
4. Day 4 83 to 73 is a long day to La Tuqe compared to the railbed trail from lebel to chapais. Gas lunch at Relais 22 can't miss it 83 brings you right to gas pumps. Then 73 La Tuque and stay at https://www.hotelsmarineau.com/establishments/hotel-marineau-at-la-tuque/introduction or for a lodge experience with lodge prices http://www.clubodanak.com/
next day you are gonna need to go to St Michel de saints i guess. I will let the others give some of their ideas as well.
We have decided to do CHABOUGAMOU to RELAIS 22 MILLES day 3 staying to the West side of Lac-Saint-Jean and going through ROBERVAL. Day 4 going to SAINT-MICHEL-DES-SAINT via 73 S to 355 S to 360 W looping up local m20 trail(which is suppose to be AMAZING) and then staying at Auberge Lac Taureau. Day 5 to Mont-Laurier via 33 N to local trail 233 S to 13 S and staying at Rabaska Lodge. Day 6 check out Devils Mountain Local Trails and Lookouts then to VAL-D'OR via 322 W to 63 N to 386 N.

Looking for advice for best places to stay, best places for to gas up and eat luch, best places for dinner and any must see look outs and picturesque scenery.
Than plan is to leave Toronto around 3, make it to Le Forestel for 10:30pm.
Day 1 is VAL D'OR to MATAGAMI for lunch then to LEBEL-SUR-QUÉVILLON for the night. ***ANY RECOMENDATIONS ON HOTEL AND BEST PLACE FOR DINNER***
Day 2 LEBEL-SUR-QUÉVILLON to CHIBOUGAMAU for the night ***WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH AND FUEL? AND ANY RECOMENDATIONS ON HOTEL AND BEST PLACE FOR DINNER***
Day 3 CHIBOUGAMAU to MISTISSINI ***WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH AND FUEL?*** and then to LAC-SAINT-JEAN for the night. ***ANY RECOMENDATIONS ON HOTEL AND BEST PLACE FOR DINNER***
Day 4,5,6 LAC-SAINT-JEAN to ***THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET INTERESTING AND INPUT FROM PEOPLE THAT KNOW THE REGION WOULD BE A BIG HELP. WE ARE GOING TO HEAD SOUTH TO SAINT-MICHEL-DES-SAINT TO MONT-LAURIER AND THEN BACK TO VAL-D'OR. THE LARGE SECTION OF QUEBEC BETWEEN LAC-SAINT-JEAN AND VAL-D'OR AND NORTH OF SAIN-ZENON MOUNT-LAURIER REGIONS IS ALL NEW TO ME AND I AM NOT SURE ON WHERE TO STAY OR GET FUEL.***
Here is the planned route:
